yea.. i think Kevin of VuhVanagon.com would best be described as a
"Hoarder" :)   i think he must just be going for a Guiness book of worlds record or
something, for having the most vanagons in one spot ever. (besides hannover
gernmany)   either that or he is on a personal mission to rescue all the
orphan and unwanted vanagons out there and bring them to a pasture that they
can feel at home amongst eachother as they slowly rust into the ground. :)

anyway, i have never known him to sell parts or vans or post anything for
sale on samaba, but he might do it "incognito".. i dont know.  i think he may
sell  a van from time to time, and i think he may work on them by
appointment only.
i think he mainly just is a collector.   he just buys them.. and organizes
them by color in his lot. :)

me thinks he is independantly wealthy and has a affliction for vanagons??
..who knows..   i wont speculate.
hey, id i had the space, id probalby have 170 vanagons sitting around in my
lot too..
well.. maybe not.   LOL  :)

chris
the 15 of them i have here now is bad enough!
