Off the top of my head, two that I thought of: vanagonlist.com, and
vw-vanagon.com both appear to be available.  VWoA might take issue with
the latter, however.  Not sure how much they care about that kind of
thing.

I'd *prefer* to keep the vanagon.com name, if that can be worked out,
but reasonable alternatives seem to exist.
