It was 1993 in Berkeley and this ’88 Westy belonged to a German guy that I would describe as a rather large aging “euro hippie” with some (ahem) negligence in the grooming dept. Anyway, he was very excited to show me the van which was in excellent condition. I had been lusting after a Westy for several years by then and more or less knew what to look for when looking for one but when I spotted this factory-looking box located behind the front passenger seat, I had to ask him about it. He lit up like a Christmas tree and spent the next five minutes describing the virtues of the Westfalia toilet-box. The first minute passed with the few polite nods I could manage for the subject, but it started getting a little awkward when he started telling me about all the places along the side of the road in America where he had stopped to take a poop in his beloved Vanagon.
