I wonder how the vans would sell if VW made a new one? The beauty of the really old ones was that you could fix the engine with a nail file. On Mon, Oct 15, 2012 at 5:19 AM, Derby Chang der...@iinet.net.au wrote: Mind blown. You have been doing this since the middle of this year, and we

VW does make a new one. You just can't import them into the U.S. They call it the California, but you're never going to be able to buy one in California ... or any other state. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volkswagen_California http://www.volkswagen-vans.co.uk/california-range/
