The samba is really useful, I've put a couple of improvements I did on it,
(middle seat in a westie and the inside rear hatch opener).  The pictures
are really worth a lot in that setting.

I use the samba when ever I'm thinking about Vanagon prices, availability
or have a question about "how to".

It makes good reading from time to time too.
