Whoa, now -- aren't swing axles the ones that have spades on the inner 
end, while the outer end swings up and down?  Don't you mean IRS?

Gawd, I hope I'm right, or I'm gonna have to go apoly-jize to the idjit 
at the FLAPS ("All VWs after 1967 had swing-axles, sir" (("sir" + 
tone of voice = "you dipshit"))).

And I also agree with the person who said they un-preferred "split" as 
the term for a pre-68, tho' "splitty" sounds ok.  I'd prefer 
"split-windshield" or the nicely Brit-sounding "split-screen".
