Subject:Re: I've located some Vanagons for sale in RI! - SINKA... Argh!

I've always hated the term SINKA.

Doesn't make sense... an American bastardization of DOKA.

DOKA = DOppel KAbine

You won't find any SINKAs in Germany.  Just pritsches, or pritschenwagens.

End of rant.

Cheers,

Jeff

A SINKA is like half a DOKA.
