Likewise I had had a 58, 64, 67 and 69 when it came time to buy a new
car. I told my wife "You know what I'd like? I saw NEW VW buses at the
dealer's" back in 1990.

I wasn't even aware at the time that there WERE purists for buses!

It's still a bus to everybody who knows me... "let's go in your bus."
The westy, of course, is a camper.

That's just how it's always been.
