Back from Japan and saw this right in front of my office in Gastown on the way in today. Looks like there's a movie being filmed so it may be being used for a few shots as the rear license plate shows "Kitty Wagon" with no State/Province reference and no front plate either.

Saw this down in OB on Wednesday. I think he was selling shaved ice.

This bay has been sitting at City Tacos in OB for awhile. It seems to be part of their outdoor decor. It has some strange hinged side cargo doors that don't seem to open. It was also cover in a heavy textured covering before being painted. Think rhino liner.

The white one looks to be a regular passenger bus, not a camper.

Sorry if my post was confusing but I'll write it differently: in addition to the White Tin Top Bus in the pic next to my Green Bus, we saw a Sage Green Late Bay Westfalia driving East along Lougheed Hwy about 1 hour before seeing this Tin Top in the pic above. _________________ *******************************

Stopped by the Langley Cruise-In event in Aldergrove on Sat and saw a few VWs but only 1 Bus this year. It was pretty sweet though and I really liked this 67 Square Back.... and it's for sale!

I was a fan of all these folks taking super long trips on busses, but got disappointed as they started monetizing their accounts and quickly transitioned to other campers other than VW's busses. So it was never about the VW experience, we got suckered in. _________________ I'd be UNSTOPPABLE if not for Law Enforcement and PHYSICS.
I recycle old cars and parts, other than when I rot, that's as Green as I am going to get.
Thanks to my Tesla driving neighbors, I feel more relaxed driving my SUBURBAN and old VW's.
Everything sounds good on paper! |

Trademark infringement on the cute "Reddy Kilowatt" usage, but no one would care at this point.
The Nuclear power (gas filler flap) is even MORE interesting!
