Link doesn't work, at least not for me, Neil.
But Yeah, whenever we can park next to another bus, we do, with hopes of meeting and BSing if we end up in the lot at the same time. _________________ ‘84 Westy, 2.1L with Digijet, 5.43 R+P, GT Gears

ya, posted via old iPhone without using an "app"; used Safari browser. Image should be visible now.
Owner wasn't around but he likely got a laugh.
Of note, I blurred his plate number etc. Paint is not faulty!

There's a new app out that automatically blurs all license plate numbers in real life so criminals will no longer be able do all of those nefarious deeds (simply by using their eyes or their own cameras) that inspire all the blurring of license plate numbers in online photos. |

Wish there was an app to smooth over all the dents and peeling clearcoat on my vehicles. _________________ Casey--

Both of those blue vans look good, one off road styling and the other has a bad boy curb appeal
In East Burke Vermont
They seem to attract each other |

I usually park in an end spot and far from the door, but had to make exception in August 2015 at Hearst Castle:
Two 1990 Orly Blue Westies and built within a month of each other. Returned to find a note ~ they were camping in the same campground. So, of course, we stopped to chat about Vanagons. _________________ ~Kamz

Fun comments!
But.....
I was hoping someone would notice that both vanagons are slate blue colour.
AFAIK, it's a pretty uncommon colour. _________________ 1981 Westy DIY 15º ABA

I wonder if leaving matching vans alone could result in smaller matching vans. _________________ ‘84 Westy, 2.1L with Digijet, 5.43 R+P, GT Gears

This was at Elkins Resort on Priest Lake a few years back (mine is on the right, the Idaho local is on the left)...
