nah. AIRS = AQUA-cooled Intrepid Rampant Sillies! :)

> And the Vanagon.COM list is that representation, isn't it?(8

actually, the vanagon list started out as the mailing list for
all vw buses ... from the early aircools to the latest
watercools, including the eurovan. the list started in the spring
of 1994 and a couple of years later, the aircools decided to
split off into their own list (so they didn't have to listen to
all the head gasket leak stories!). then they split into the
type2 list (sort of more-or-less 68-79 buses, but some split
windows still hang around. and some 80-83 aircooled vanagons are
on there, too) and the vintagebus list (only the pre-68
split-windows buses).
so that leaves the vanagon list with mostly watercooled vanagons
and a few eurovans. but there are quite a few 80-83 aircooled
vanagons still on this list.

as in "whatcha driving these days?"
"a rolling lair". :)

or should it be LIARS?? nah, that's for fishermen and deer
hunters. ;)
