My old 1972 VW Kombivan. Still miss him. Partner on many an adventure.

Oh, what colour?! That's so cool!

White and red. Yes, he did have curtains on the side windows. No power steering and manual shift. Was a real arm and leg workout to drive. But beautifully balanced and could handle the roughest of dirt roads. Never had a stack or a problem with his innards either.
