Hey Guys,
My good friend Walter Reiss drives his pottery around Laguna Beach to the various art festivals there, Palm Springs and Phoenix art show in his 86 Transporter.
He lives in Laguna Beach on Top of the World and drives his trusty Vanagon.  He has over 390K miles on it with only one head replacement job.

Cheers, Joel Cort
