Mmmmmmm... cooooookieeeeeeeee
Van Cafe dudes ROCK! Fast shipping, and even look out to see if they can ship cheaper thru USPS Priority... sending me a refund on shipping in the process!
I'm needing some art next time

This could be viewed as MILF porn, I am surprised the postal inspectors let it through. |

I've never received a cookie or artwork. Just a lousy box with my order.
Maybe I should be shopping somewhere else _________________ 1977 Westfalia 2.0FI 4spd

Vanagon a la Ed Roth. My kid just got a Rat Fink sticker and it got me thinking . . .
Also thought of the 'Last Samurai' quote - this {vanagon} belongs to the {driver} whom the old ways have joined with the new. _________________ Its a mistress; an expensive, whiney, needy bitch of a mistress. She is a chunky, dirty girl with bad skin, little motivation and yet she always makes me smile. She sure has been around before shacking up with me. She has a direct line to my wallet, plays with my emotions, is consistantly jovial yet with a sarcastic and sardonic side, is consistant in her inconsistancy, and every once in a while gives me a great ride and a fantastic memory. |

Make the request in the comments section when placing online order. Kid loved this weeks Dr Midnight cookie - I can't eat them. _________________ Its a mistress; an expensive, whiney, needy bitch of a mistress.

Kid started school this week, so I asked for a Vanagon schoolie. Snuck it into his backpack. He was smiling broadly when he got home, clutching the picture.

I like Vancafe for the great service, always quick. I've been on the wait list for the MEFRO 15" Steel Wheels, and as luck would have it, the wheels are in (along with the GW instrument cluster wiring circuit); so needless to say this will be a tight end to the year.
Got my 2 wheels today, one for the doka and one for the Westy spare tires:
German made and an ET 30. Thanks VC. _________________ ~Bryan

So back in September I ordered a set of oil cooler coolant hoses for my syncro engine refresh.
http://www.van-cafe.com/home/van/page_369_673/oil-cooler-hose-kit-86-91.html
Now they had been sitting down in my parts bin waiting for me to have free time to install them(since ordering them in Sept I have been to 3 continents and 4 different countries - I'm counting Alabama as a different country) so my free time has been a little thin.
I finally got time to start putting together my engine over Christmas break, well I pulled out my hose kit and started installing it when I realized they had sent me an older kit without the silicon Van-Cafe branded hose, and instead it had a Meyle(yuck) hose. It should have come with this hose:
I called them up and within 5 minutes they confirmed it was their error and shipped out a new one to me. It also came with a cookie! _________________ '91 Carat Westy

Just ordered a O2 sensor from them, when my wife asked me if i had ordered it (the same day we decided too) i informed her that V.C. was already shipping it........V.C. is probably one of the finest companies i have ever dealt with. _________________ 1990 Vanagon Carat "Pig"

Van cafe guys are great. I saw one of the guys by the shop on a saturday. He let me buy a part! And Peter let us try his van with the recaro seats. Bought them that day. Awesome customer service! |

Just bought a $200 radiator from them. No cookie! No art! I guess I'll have to just settle with the lightning fast shipping. Sigh.......... |

Did you request art?
The cookie is odd though, did you check inside the radiator? _________________ '91 Carat Westy
