As far as I can tell, the only change to any of the site is the front page
graphic in the upper left of what looks like a climbing syncro and the name
"Van-Cafe". It used to be a picture of the same blue cartoon Vanagon pulling
a small trailer and the name "VolksCafe". No VW logos anywhere, no suggetion
ANYWHERE that it there was any relation to the Volkswagen, other than the
obvious "we sell parts for Vanagons". Looks to me like just a typical case
of corporate lawyers trying to keep busy and "earn" their salaries.
