While I have nothing against vintage VW busses, the fact that I'm not a fan of them makes me feel you're comparing apples to oranges. Afterall, this is primarily a Porsche & BMW enthusiast's message board, while Samba's a vintage VW board.
As a 944 enthusiast, there's not much that Samba offers for me. Note: not all Porsches are air-cooled and pre-1973, although Tabs would argue that the last REAL Porsche was from back then...
Now a Pelican vs. Rennlist comparison.... oh, nevermind....That's probably NOT a good idea.
