Is your list >calling all <68 busses, micorbusses? well, you caught me. :) i suppose the Correct Terminology would be T1, T2, T3, and T4, but everybody gets confused about the differences between T2 and Type 2 ... so i just settled on the 'common' names. and Microbus means any vw transporter/bus model from 1949 to 1967. Bus means 1968 to 1979 (even the pickups). Vanagon is 1980-1991, and Eurovan is 1992 to whenever. even this causes problems: Eurovans are called Transporters everywhere else and were made in 1991 ... but i haven't bothered to allow the program to handle BOTH vanagons (which, by the way, is also a north-american-only name) AND eurovans of 1991. besides, it would mess up my nice neat columns. :) so if you have some sort of vw transporter/bus/camper/pickup/panel/shoebox made from 1949 to 1967, you is a Microbus. :p joel
