Ev,

Feel free to disregard this, but I had a thought -- since Type 181s, Kubelwagens, Schwimmwagens, Itlises, and the like all share a common history and purpose (being general-purpose military vehicles), why not organize a forum around them as a group?

Discussion about Things frequently involves these other vehicles as it is, and there have been questions as to where the "other" vehicles belong. I personally dislike seeing Schwimmwagens lumped in with the watercoolers...

So I propose the Type 181/Ex-Military Vehicles Forum.

What do you think?

kubels and schwimmers have more in common with split window beetles and barndoor busses than with 181s and iltises

I think those people actually use the Split-Window Beetle Forum more due to age of their vehicles.

There may be a change coming to the Split/Oval Forum that would make them fit better in that area.

Sounds fair. While Kubels and Schwimms are definitely of the Split era, it seemed to me that there was more discussion/interest overlap in the Thing area. I could be wrong -- I am new here after all...

Are Splitsville and Ovalburg separating, Ev? :shock:
