How about this for a bizarre VW Bus (okay, it’s not strictly a Bus, but you know what I mean) The world’s lowest VW Vanagon was recently created at the hugely popular Bug Jam festival at the UK’s Santa Pod Raceway when Volkswagen parts specialist Just Kampers teamed up with talented artist Andy Saunders.
The “Vancake” stands just three feet off the ground but is fully road legal and was created by Saunders and his team in just three days! Apart from lowering the roof the team also applied a custom paint job and an electric sunroof.
At the other end of the scale, how about this for a compact VW Bus? Surely it’s one of the shortest in the world?
Received a very cool pottery money box today as a birthday gift from my mum; she always manages to find the perfect present and this one is no exception!
The hand painted Cymru Camper is about 9″ long, 4.5″ wide and 5″ tall and comes complete with a sweet red and green surfboard on the roof which just happens to be where the slot is located to pop in all the coins for my Bus Fund!
I think the Bus originated from the excellent “Shop In The Clouds” web site which sells all kinds of cool clothing, gifts and jewellery; all with a Welsh theme of course!
Just wanted to leave some positive feedback for the VolksWorld eBay Store. Last Friday 8th August I ordered a couple of their great guides; Keeping Your Bus Alive and Keeping Your Legend Alive. VolksWorld Jon even combined shipping to the USA and confirmed within minutes of me placing the order that they’d be shipped the same day.
I couldn’t believe it on Monday afternoon when the postman showed up with a stiff brown envelope containing not only the two hard-to-come-by guides, but a couple of complimentary VolksWorld Dash Plaques!
Thanks Jon for (a) the fastest international shipping I’ve ever received, (b) the excellent communication throughout the transaction, (c) the excellent guides which arrived in first class condition and (d) the VolksWorld Dash Plaques! Nice touch…
For anyone thinking of ordering from the VolksWorld eBay Store, I can’t recommend it enough!
It’s almost that time when the kids go back to school, and what better way to send them off with a brand new shoulder bag, pencil case and wallet from Urchin!
The canvas shoulder bag is a cool sand color featuring the iconic VW Bus on the front and would make a great school bag.
There’s also a matching canvas pencil case with retro camper van design and of course to complete the collection, add a VW themed canvas wallet large enough to hold all the lunch money you can give them!
Current prices:
Camper Van Bag £10.99
Camper Van Pencil Case £4.99
Camper Van Wallet £4.99

Just found another unique Volkswagen Bus product over at the wonderful Lazybone web site. It seems one of the latest crazes in the home computer world is the huge range of USB memory sticks available on the market and the VW Bus stick is sure to be a winner.
The majority of “novelty” memory sticks are made of plastic which in my opinion makes them look cheap and more of a toy than a useful took. Not so the VW Bus stick - these memory sticks are die cast and definitely a nice accessory to own. The lights will even flicker on and off when the unit’s plugged in and receiving data!
At just 256MB, storage capacity isn’t great , but is just enough to hold those essential files needed for everyday activities. The VW Bus is priced at $29.58, available in either Red or Green and comes complete with USB extension cable.
Kapowgifts, in operation since 1999, have a great selection of Volkswagen gifts and novelties including t-shirts, mugs, badges, bags, coasters and more.
One of my favorites is the Haynes retro-styled alarm clock based on the classic VW Transporter car manual design.
Priced at just £9.99 (approx. $19.50), the clock offers great value for money. Check out some of the other Volkswagen themed products available here.
