I spotted this decked out pop-top VW bus and trailer combo at a local Volkswagen gathering here in Central California last month and thought some of you guys might enjoy seeing this interesting creation. Although these old buses make a Toyota Prius look like a Ferrari when it comes to performance, I think stuff like this is certainly worthy of a mention here on Speedhunters. Do you agree when I say that it might impossible to find cars with more character than vintage VW vans?

There's got to be a reason why cars (or vans) like this one put more smiles on people's faces than high dollar custom show cars or factory correct restos...

VW T1, T2a and T2b busses are so cool. Specially slamed with the vintage Porsche rims and the whole 'used'-look. Sadly those T1 are unaffordable last years, even in their home-country (Germany). :( One of the not many german cars with a 'soul'!
