VW 181 Facts & Figures

Many thanks go to all who contributed to the compilation of these Facts & Figures. Special thanks go to the following people: 

• David Campbell - editor of Pacific Northwest Thing Association's Thing Stuff. Check out his VW Type181 Thing Registry.
• Chris Chapman's Thing Central web site hosts the ThingList Archives. Thanks to his efforts all the individual messages posted to the Thing mailing list are completely searchable by content.
• "Kubelken" Crimmins - runs the things-digest mailing list. Read all about his ex-German army VW 181s on Ken's Kubel Konnection. 
• Christian Demmer- web master of the VW Kübel-Klub Germany. 
• Ian Harrison - runs The 181/182 Register in Great Britain.
• Arnd Klinkhart - VW 181 Geländewagen-Club of Hamburg, Germany.
• Bob Miller - used to run the now defunct VW THING/Type-181 Registry.
• Martha Rubin - used to compile the VW Thing mailing list. Without her pioneering work the Internet-181 community would not be the same.
• Shawn Sitar - does a lot of work to sort out the detaills on original accessories which were offered by VW of America for the VW Thing. Have a look at Shawn & Kristie Sitar's VW homepage.
• Rich Smith - president of the VW Thing Association of America. 

Stephen Williams - see his restored ex-Bundeswehr 1974 VW 181 radio car at Steve's Radiocar Page.
