Default The perfect pair

Came back to the car this afternoon to find the bus beside mine.

I do love them old busses. If I had a garage to keep one I would have to get one.

Great photo

I've always liked the VW campers but I find it hard to take them seriously.

They're kind of all flower power and Scooby Doo (not that that's necessarily a bad thing!) .....







Being a fan of big old Citroen's, one of my favourite old-school campers has always been the H Vans:




Unmistakably French and distinctive. Still not sure I'd want to own one though .... they're somewhat under-powered for my liking.

No one would ever say the vw bus was a power house either.

Are they not making a new version of the Citroen van again?

Wow, seems you're right. Hadn't heard:
https://www.topgear.com/car-news/you...-citroen-h-van

It's a bit fugly though

I mean, it has some likenesses. It kinda looks like an ugly baby H Van. Almost as if someone mated a H Van with a minion or something.
