Rio Theater @ 2pm in Vancouver

'The Bus' movie gets a shout out in the Vancouver Sun. The movie will be playing at the Rio theater in Vancouver (Canada, not Washington), at 2 pm tomorrow... Saturday, June 2nd.

Film Shoot in Santa Clarita

Always curious to see how a VW bus will play it's role. Bookings for film shoots, photo shoots and events that require VW buses remain a unique way to spend a day or an evening; a few days back Bill took Eddie to an evening film shoot at a mine - somewhere in Santa Clarita.

The Herald-Sun - REVIEW Get on ‘The Bus'

"One bus owner (Bill Staggs) sums it up pretty well when he notes that wherever the bus goes, it is greeted with a smile. The front end of a bus even looks like it’s smiling, with those round headlights and VW nose."

We miss Albie!

Hi Bill!

It's already one month ago that we left California and we really miss it! We miss the beautiful weather, the coast and especially the Californian people! And of course we miss Albie!

We hope you are all doing great, are you still so very busy? Or has the time arrive that you can spend some days at the beach yourself?

Do give our greetings to everyone!

In Holland it's raining all the time, but Yuri's going to work in Monaco for a few weeks and the weather will be probably better out there. Sammie and Diede are busy doing their school at the moment, and they hope they can return to California as soon as they pass their exam (in 3 years)...

Bye,

Edith, Yuri, Sammie and Diede

New friends made at Big Wednesday :)

The Long and Winding Road (not so much)

Rien and Sarah just sent a batch of photos to us all the way from Holland, and I must say they are outstanding! I think this particular photo was taken near Death Valley... not the place you'd want to travel to at the moment, seeing it's summer and all, but the perfect destination in our 'off season' here in Southern California.

Rien owns his own vintage rental business back home in Holland called Vintage Road Trips.

Happy Father's Day Dad, from Chloe!

We will make sure this finds it's way back to you Dad :)

Vintage Road Trips in France, Italy and Holland!

Imagine exploring the French countryside in a vintage 2CV, your tour is completely mapped out for you, you can stray off the appointed path if you prefer, take in the sights and at the end of the day's journey check in at your reserved BnB. Then sample the local culinary delights accompanied by French wine!

Vintage Road Trips rents 2CV's, mopeds and more recently Fiat 500's and T2 VW bay window camper buses from a number of locations in Europe. They offer daily rentals and customized road trip packages.

Phineas Flynn leaves a note...

I was cleaning the Kukui Nut yesterday and came across this thank you note tucked inside one of the storage cabinets. This is the kind of thing that makes this business so special - meeting all the interesting people that rent from us, and knowing that they've had a blast!

Cheese from Holland :: YUM!

Thank you Rien and Sarah for the package that arrived recently, and all the way from Holland. The cheese was fabulous! We thoroughly enjoyed meeting you both and sharing rental stories. Can't wait to rent a CV2 from you at Vintage Road Trips and explore your homeland someday soon!

Essential Travel Gear :: Camping Catalog

This extremely hip n' happening catalog, ahem, catalogue... hails from the UK and is the graphic creation of Neil Singleton. Neil's company is called We Are Soup and they created this catalog for Just Kampers. The photos of the sage green VW (not really sage if you ask me, but I guess that's the official VW color tag) are taken by Kim of Silverbox Photographers. Kim snapped these quintessential California coastal scenes while on vacation, errr... holiday, with her family. And yes, she rented this retro 70's guacamole green Volkswagen camper bus from us, the crew at Vintage Surfari Wagons!

You can order a copy of the catalog (for free) for yourself from the folks at Just Kampers. While you're there be sure to check out all the nifty goodies they offer to complete your camping experience.
P.S. Love, love, love the catalog Neil!

I hope whatever is being said/sung here isn't offensive... the first word isn't pretty, but the imagery is!
