Don't know if they are mascots as much as they are decroations. Buoys from past Buses by the
Buoy camp outs. A few buoys given to me this summer from a fellow Sambanista from
Nova Scotia, I met on his way to Bus Fusion. A small yellow bus to prop up my front license
plate. Two plates are required showing in the lovely state of mine. Black cat to remind me
of a family pet. Last but not least is a rosery that was dropped in front of my house by
a parishioner of the Catholic church down the street. I hung the Rosery on my front fence
for all to see for over a year and no one claimed it, so it resides in my Westy. I don't see
why an Episcopalian can't use a rosery!

Henceforth known as the "Wonder Van"!

Next time we fly to the States, we will make the 4 day drive to Florida.

Why would they stock it in Florida, where VW isn't a cultural icon, and not in Cali, were it is?

Strange....

After 2nd trip to USA, I still can not find a Scooby mascot but I did find a Scooby Doo July 4th Tshirt, a coloring book, cards and 2 DVDs. Guess I'll have to go the ebay route. Rolling Eyes

I won a door price at Watkin's Glen and will most likely pick Mystery Van "blobs" or foot prints.

Our companion "Eddy" in our rental van from Vintage Surfari Wagons. We flew to Cali & rented for a weeklong road trip.

Here we are "flying" up Coast Hwy. #1...

Full disclosure: not actually a Vanagon, but close (it's a '79 Bay Westy) but definitely a memorable mascot!

syncrodoka: I saw your hula gal on the dash of a 72 bus with a For Sale Sign in the window., today.

And I had an Idea went to Toys R Us and found the whole Scooby mystery crew in articulated format. They had a stuffed toy but it just didn't have that Scooby attitude. So now I have a Scooby on my dash where he belongs. Will take a pic sometime.

At Toys R Us they only have Filmore in an expensive set with others. But I did see some neat Thing, Type 181; a Baja Bug in the miniature cars and forget the year of a bus with windows up and down (quite big)at Walmart.

We found this female Stegosaurus strolling though the Utah desert. She has had a place on our dashboard since. I've imagined the Stegosaurus moving kind of like our Syncro, slowly and steadily wandering.
