Hi Steven,
Those unusual Bus items are definitely out there. Some too expensive for me. Anyone have one of those beautiful charcoal grills shipped like a bus?
I have a nice Vanagon set of hooks perfect for keys. A flat fromt of a vanagon with hooks along the bottom.
I have a nice vanagon bottle opener as well. The pop top is up and you use the pop top to pop the top on a bottle.
Fun stuff out there!
Eric

Last year they found a cookie jar shaped like an early bus. I don't know where they are getting these things, but they often come up with something interesting, and Bus/Vanagon/VW related.
