Matt,

I am a web designer (graphic) and would be happy to help with any look and feel
issues if there are any. Even though the bus is toast, I would be very
interested in the information, and an easy way to access it by topic. Plus, I
would like to give back to the list that has helped me so many times.

let me know how I can help.

p.s. the wife misses the vanagon so much, she has asked me to find another
(newer though) to replace it. That's a rare request from a wife of a VW lover,
eh?
