SIr, my biggest regret in 1984 my 67 split window van list oil pressure and locked up in valley stream New York. I gave it to the Nassau county police department he tried to push start me with a dodge diplomat after I put oil back in but she was locked up. Broke my heart. It was a camper with the small square camper top. And full camper set up. I'm 54 now . It's my dream to have one again.

@harryfritter8266 5 лет назад

I had a split window since I was 15, a guy I knew owed me $90 buck's. So he gave me the bus. I drove it here and there and partially restored it over the years. I finally sold it because every time we took it on vacation, it'd breakdown. I was 41 when I sold it, and with that money I purchased 250 acres in the Rockies in western Colorado and built an off grid cabin. Pretty good return on a ninety dollar investment

I love the Skinners! An awesome couple restoring recent history. I grew up outside of Vancouver Canada. My parents immigrated from Germany. Seems they met most of the others that did too. One of those couples drove only VW's. They had beetles and a kewl orange bus. I loved riding with them as a little girl.

So meany memories here of my old ‘72 VW Bus, and the even older one that was loaned to me for a few weeks while my VW Bug was being worked on. I’ve had about five different VW Bugs, one VW Golf, and the ‘72 Bus. The Bus was by far my favorite. These things are a dream to drive, and to hang out in. Happy Trails

In 1971 I came home from Japan to get discharged from the service. A friend in Las Vegas introduced me to some friends with a 65 VW stepthru. They also had a GMC panel delivery but the visibility out scared me shitless. I drive it to Houston where my Dad was living and on to Ruston Louisiana and a year at LA Tech(71-72). If I had known how to take care of a car back then I’d still have it. It was white, step thru without the first back seat. All my worldly possessions fit in a seabag so living in a bus was pretty easy.

@van-gabondramblinrose6398 5 лет назад

Because T4's/5's/6's don't cost 3 or 4 years salary and they're reliable. As much as I love a splitty, I'd rather not spend most of my precious time off, stuck on the side of a road.

@stephenmorgan5100 5 лет назад

@@van-gabondramblinrose6398 I sort of get where you come from. In the UK an all singing all dancing t6 can cost easily over £100,000. Split vans can be made reliable if you are prepared to add modern technology and can cost less than said T6. Yes your safe which is a major factor in a T5 or T6 but the majority of them look the same with just different coloured seats and cabinets and are just another boring van. Each to their own and respect your comments but I love old vans and it makes people smile when they see it and ask questions. :-)

@van-gabondramblinrose6398 5 лет назад

@@stephenmorgan5100 I dunno, I have a T4 which I've converted myself and still lots more work to do to get it where I want, but I love it and so far it's cost me around £10 grand...much less than the £40-60 grand it would cost for a splitty. I love the shape and the look of my T4 and it's been totally reliable and economical to run, but mostly I love the adventures it gives me and that's what it's all really about, no matter which type you go for. My view is, we're all VW people and I have no room for any elitism. I love it when I'm on the road and I get a wave from another van, whatever it is. :-)

@globalisite 5 лет назад

Yes, I think you are both nuts. But, in the most lovable way one could imagine. Good nuts. I suppose after witnessing the trials and tribulations of the great journey north (the 10 engine rebuilds, etc) it just seems like maybe a more reliable type of vehicle would be, er well, practical. Its enough to focus on a drive around the world without constantly working on yr vehicle. Having said all of that, I understand that the VW experience is a mystical and almost religious bond between man, woman and constantly breaking down vehicle. And somehow, the satisfaction of getting yourself down the road, one kilometer at a time, blood, sweat, tears, oil and water mixed, all of it, somehow becomes a metaphor for a life lived well. Kudos! Cant wait to watch the series and wish you both the very best!

Mr. & Mrs. Skinner are awesome people!

(And make a buck or two while doing the consulting and or restoration) ~ I better get to bed, I've got nothing to do tomorrow, the next day or the day after that.
