I had a '79 Westy called the Magic Bus. My younger brother took it to the prom and after-parties. It's a shame when your vehicle sees more action than you do. The license plate "MagcBus" is hanging on the wall at Hodad's, a great burger joint in Ocean Beach, just left of the bar. I still visit sometimes, even though she is now a guest house in the desert.
Currently have a red '65 single cab, not named. Maybe Truckosaurus since it's so old and part of a dying breed. Whadda ya think? _________________ Shawn

A couple of the guys at work call mine the Dung Beetle because it's faded metalic grey and rarely runs like it's supposed to. _________________ Used to be know as Dubhead so those of you who remember me know that I am not another FNG!

My '67 Riviera camper is named "Richard Leaky" not only after the anthropologist, but also because my front windows leak like there is no tomorrow!!
Maybe I could have chosen Noah...or something more biblical...

My 1964 Kombi/camper is called promontory rider
My 1975 stupid beetle is called blue cloud should be and am contemplating calling it bertha since its a fat chick.
My 1978 camper that has been passed to its new owner was called betsy
And last but not least my 1971 euro camper was called swiss because the frame had holes in it like swiss cheese.
Keep driving em and keep coming up with an original name for your ride, remember its like your kid, if you name it wrong people will make fun. _________________ Ben Eles

My 79 westfalia is "Schroeder" today, although for the first month of owning it and failing inspection four times, it was christened "the bitch". _________________ Your car may do 0-60 in under 5 seconds, but can it sleep 4 and cook a meal?
