Scott,

I no longer hoard Vanagons. I now have one turbo Subie powered 84 and the previously mentioned 85 Westy Weekender. Those will soon enough be one 'The Long Weekend'.

Dokas aren't technically Vanagons so not counting those.

So you like stripper models? Well, dancers or models, doesn't matter. You probably couldn't catch one in a Vanagon.;-)
