Spotted sharp bay this last Friday I90 just east of of Rochester MN heading East . Nice two tone mint green and lighter color. Rare to see especially in the winter months.

I found this one in my town. It looks to be a 1968-1971 camper. I thought is was a westy but the top isn’t right or for a Riviera, it stops early. It also doesn’t have a window in rear right side. It looks to have some of the camping interior. What is it?

EDIT: I researched it and found out It’s a sportsmobile made/converted in Indiana.

I’ve got a feeling this is daftendirekte..

Can confirm.

Pretty sure that's the day I got those white walls mounted; stopped there to get that white-wall cleaner stuff on the way to work.

Ive been by there. Some old grumpy a-hole lives there. Threw a can of Coors Light at me for looking at his VW's.

That's about all that Coors Light is good for anyway.

Not sure this the best thread since this is in the forest but:
Someone sent me this - They found a Bay Window in the woods:

Saw this at a brewery in Castle Rock, CO Saturday evening. You can sorta spot my '78 in the background.

Only in Eugene, Oregon... The only thing missing is Jerry softly playing in the background...!

Maybe that should be included in this thread...

This was spotted at Cocoa Beach yesterday...

It's a cleaner, shinier, less dented and less rusted relative of Chloe. \:D/

That columbarium is a clever idea. Unfortunate that they call it a "van" though. :D

I doubt when I die at 105+ years old (that's my plan, anyway) my relatives will want to ship my ashes to Oregon.

So maybe instead I'll have them just sprinkle little bits of me throughout my Buses before they dispose of them. Preferably in nooks and crannies someplace where they all aren't likely to get cleaned out. :twisted:

I do assume that I will still have these Buses (and maybe some more) in 2086.

I’m visiting my grandfather in Sweden right now, this is the only bus I have seen here so far. Look like a 69 or 70, pretty cool!

March 21, 2020 at about 9pm, I saw a 72 westy with California plates headed south on 195 about to go over the Bourne Bridge towards Cape Cod. Anyone we know?
