Episode 11 - Shelly is thrown from a car and lands on the ground. Carl rushes over to help Shelly. She asks Carl for a ride in to town. Carl calls for a vintage split window bus with his magic flute. ( This really happened)
Anyways here's where the scene breaks down. Notice the bus that Carl summons is a split window
But the next scene Shelly and Carl inside the bus. Notice something different?
And then we see this

Besides the obvious split window, bay window thing, the split window image is reversed. See the license plate? Soooooo is that bus a right hand drive?
Campmobile Chris74 you need to repost those photos to thesamba before photbucket locks them out.

I finally got a chance to see the entire movie yesterday. There is a Beetle that is shown in a repeated mental flashback scene. There seems to be a fire raging behind it. I can't locate a picture of it. Is that the one you mean?
There is also what seems to be a newer Golf featured in a chase scene.

Late Bay-window Westy camper in Citi Cards "twins" commercial. I immediately noticed the green/yellow plaid cushion on which the kids are resting, then the cabinets, and the front seat headrest shape.
