They say money talks. With somewhere around 1,000 people on this list alone, and 100's
of them spending thousands of dollars to maintain or upgrade our old vans, and a large
enough number of them (me included) were willing to put down a sizable deposit, that
VWOA could be persuaded to convert some to left-hand drive in SA where labor costs are
lower and then import them? Wishful thinking, I guess.
