Thanks. I know they're are bit of a rare tool these days. My brother used to have one in the 80's that kept breaking down as I remember. Kind of been interested in them for a while and esp after seeing the lovely powder blue example! A real stunner.
I've had 3 or 4 V dubs as well back in the mid 90's which took me over the Pyranee's and into spain for 5 weeks when I was at Uni.....and more recently an Iveco Daily which I converted from an ambulance in 97 and took meself off round Europe for 9 weeks.
Anyway, suffice to say, I love taking meself off in a van. Now I find meself doing another degree with another year to go, hence not being in too much of a rush!
