Shop.

A shelf of manuals, a few prints, and nothing behind the counter. If we ever open one it will be small — things worth owning, described honestly, priced once. There is no counter today, and no till. What follows is the shape of a shop, so you can tell us whether it is worth building one.

What works today

What is a concept

Nothing on this site is for sale. No price here is a price you can pay.
No cart, order, checkout or payment exists, and no payment processor is connected to VWX.
The product below was invented for this page. It has never been printed, packed or posted.

Back to the shop concept

A cart with nothing in it.

The structure of a cart, with the one invented item in it and every number left out.

Everything below is an illustration.

Order Summary

Subtotal: —
Discount: —
Delivery: —
Total: —

Nothing here is for sale, so there is nothing to add up.

A promotion, described.

A shop would let you type a code here, and the total would change. There is no code, no field to type it in and no total to change.

Checkout, described.

The next page would take a payment through a processor named here in plain sight, and then say what happens to your address. There is no next page.

Envisioned

A short list of things worth owning, rather than a catalogue.
Each one described by someone who has handled it.
A price set once, and the reason for it written down.
Nothing sold that we would not keep ourselves.
VWX will not authenticate a vehicle, and will not share anyone's contact details without their consent.

Would you buy anything from a site like this?
Manuals, prints, or neither?

Concept

Directory.

Everybody in this hobby knows a shop, and nobody can prove one is good. A directory would be the easy part; standing behind it is the hard part, and we are not going to pretend we can. One shop is here because it is doing documented work on a truck we write about. The rest is a shape, with an invented shop standing in it.
