It seems to me that the van/bus owners have much more in common than their
motors. For us vanagon types it will mean having to make cross-postings to
both AC & WC in rec.autos. 

A division similar to that used for repair manuals i.e."VW Vanagon
1980-1991" would work as well and allow for the AC & WC types to live in
the same space - thereby preserving continuity of VW lore, expertise, and
evolution.

What think you all? There is probably enough people on this list to have a
significant swing vote.
