This has the look of some sort of photoshop art filter, but knowing it's real makes it ten times as cool!

Saw a white Early Bay Camper out in Maple Ridge this afternoon. No time to get a pic but it looked to be in nice shape and we exchanged waves as we passed each other.

First heard, and then saw a black high top BayWindow Bus drive past me in Downtown Vancouver this morning. It looked to be a Food Truck of some sort but I didn't have enough time to take a pic or see much of the Bus as it was in traffic. The back hatch had "The Fresh Way" or something similar painted on it in an arch with much of the Bus painted black.

Spotted this 70(?) singlecab while mailing a box. Really tricked out. Not my taste but well-done. Tried to ask about it but owner literally pulled out while I was trying to talk to him - guess he was in a hurry.

Saw my favourite yellow Panel, a Late Bay white camper, and a black, yellow, & white Bus that looked to be converted into some sort of food vending vehicle last week.

My wife is in Japan visiting one of our sons who is living and working in Karuizawa Nagano, Japan and she saw this nice Early Bay Camper on Mother's Day there as they were walking to a restaurant to have dinner.

Clean late bay Rivi(?) at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya, would have brought mine if I knew there was a camping section
