I had a heck of a lot more trouble with crosswinds driving my '76 and '73
buses, than now with my '87 Westi.  Got really discouraged with it on the
'73 in the winter of '83-84 in no. CA,  What helped then was the advice of a
good friend and long-time VW bus owner -- "Just think of it as driving a
*kite*."  Sounds crazy, but helped me let go of the idea of perfect control,,,
