My first post was October of 1995, a few days before purchasing my '87 Synchro Westy. I've been here ever since and have found it to be an invaluable resource. I still like the old-school listserv but can't deny the value of easily searchable content organized by subject, with images, as a forum would have. Not to mention the problems this listserv has with emails getting lost or going into spam folders. I was an early adopter of Facebook and an early quitter of said platform, won't be going back. Dennis, if you set up a new Vanagon forum I will sign up.

Regards,
Mark
