Subject:      Unusual Vanagon sighting

Last week I saw a very interesting and unusual Vanagon. My SO and I were
headed to Home Depot and she said "look a Doka", pointing to a VW coming
at us in a left turn lane. I looked and said, "hmm, not exactly a Doka,
what is it? It turned left onto the same street we were turning right on
and I hoped it was headed to HD as well so I could get a close look.
Alas, it kept going and got on the freeway. It was bright yellow and
appeared to be a single cab. Clearly it was made from a Vanagon, with
upper air scoops at the top rear of the cab. From what I could see, a
very professional job. I had considered doing something similar myself,
since I  am a madman when it comes to Vanagons. It looked like a
standard vanagon with the entire rear hatch area cut off and moved
forward to just behind the front seats. It had a full flat truck bed
level with the engine lid with storage doors under the deck on the sides.
