Probably because it is NEW... But I just love it... Even had a dream last night about driving my bus thru a winter snow scene with a mountain lion in it... Gotta love bonus dream rides in your bus... I love my bus even more... Hear that karl, it now needs to be sychroized... Hehehe...

I like the redwood side of the van for sure.

Toughbook. They go through drop test, humidity, low temperature, vibration, dust resistance, thermal shock, water resistance, high temperature, and altitude.
Mine rolls with me on the trails all the time. I have gotten spoiled with the touchscreen though.

Looking great Aswah - much nicer than the deadhead theme. If you could get rid of the cheap flimsy tire carrier  it would look a lot better in the rear.

I'm speechless, cannot stop staring at the mural of the forest with the sun rays going through. Congratulations Aswah, it's a beautiful van!

Beautiful work! I think the dancing bears have actually been outdone. I also like how the artist captured himself in the mural, pretty clever actually.
Great look, and congrats on the upcoming new addition.

here are the long awaited pictures...
http://www.flickr.com/photos/aswah/sets/72157625052062071/
Merlot in the keyboards... geez, you sound like me except in usually is Pinot Noir... and when it comes to my laptop I have CAT like reflexes... I usually pop out the battery quicker than I can yell SH&T! invert the laptop and let thoroughly dry...
better shots will come when I actually get a day off... we started pressing the wine now... and still have grapes coming in...
peace and love and BIG UPS to Ken!
