Dear Listees:  I have a battery operated yellowish orange vanagon that's
about 4 1/2" tall that's battery operated and runs around in circles with a
drive wheel up front.  made by star toys.  it has opening front doors and
rear hatch and has a kayak on top. Not a clue where we purchased it.  Also
have a matchbox sized vanagon somewhere in the snakepit.
