Welsh Dragon VW Bus Wall Clock

Talk about great service! I only ordered the Welsh Dragon Volkswagen Bus Wall Clock on Monday afternoon; the mail man just arrived (Friday afternoon) and guess what he delivered all the way from the UK? The Welsh Dragon VW Bus Clock….

I couldn’t be happier with the purchase. The clock was very well packaged and looks just as good in person as it does online and at £8.50 (approx. $17.00) exclusive of VAT outside the EU it’s a bargain!

If this were an eBay sale I’d be heading over to their site to leave positive feedback for the product and the service received. Unfortunately I can’t do that so hopefully this blog post will help spread the word about Signs-Unique and their great range of products.

Highly recommended!

I Didn’t Win A Volkswagen Bus

The lucky winner of the The Who’s Magic Bus was announced on the Teenage Cancer Trust web site yesterday as Anthony Jones. Congratulations Anthony!

The iconic VW Bus, provided by Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles, was specially designed by The Who’s art director Richard Evans, and branded with iconic images of the band and their famous target logo

Almost 9,000 tickets were sold for the Magic Bus competition, launched in April by Roger Daltrey, with over £28,000 being raised for the Teenage Cancer Trust charity. Excellent news!

The Amazing Volkswagen Bus Ball By Lars-Erik Fisk

I’m sure this is old news to all the die-hard VW Bus fans out there, but I thought the Volkswagen Bus was so cool it deserves another mention.

Sculptor Lars-Erik Fisk created the VW Bus Ball a couple of years ago, which earned him a $20,000 prize from a local art museum. Apparently Lars has also created a UPS truck ball and a John Deere Tractor ball, but the article I could find featured a small image of the UPS ball.

Check out this excellent blog post for more information about Lars and his custom work.

For the record, the VW Bus Ball photograph is Creative Commons licensed.

Calamity Creations: VW Bus Original Art, Prints, Calendars And More…

Found a great web site recently called Calamity Creations that sell original art, prints on paper and canvas, calendars and greeting cards featuring Volkswagen Splittie and Bay Window Buses.

Pictured above is one of my favorites “Desert Island Bus” which is a digital print on textured watercolor paper available in 4 sizes. The selection of products is fantastic with the Split Screen and Bay Campervan images being the most successful part of the Calamity Creations art range.

Calamity Creations will be at VANFEST at the Three Counties Show Ground in Malvern from the 12th to the 14th September 2008 if you’d like to check them out. Meanwhile, why not pay a visit to their great web site where you can view the gallery of available products.

Select A Volkswagen Bus At BusSelecta.com

BusSelecta.com has been around for several years, but it’s still a fun way to spend a few minutes if you’ve got nothing better to do…

You start with a blank shell of a vehicle before choosing one of the following three models; Splitscreen, Barndoor or Bay Window.

Once you’ve decided on a model, choose from six different suspension heights and a huge array of wheels and tires.

Your Bus should now be starting to come together, but you still have to choose a color scheme and pick out some Volkswagen accessories; the sunroof is a must-have by the way!

So, hours of fun for everyone and there’s even a nifty little print button if you want to put your masterpiece on display.

Classic Volkswagen Station Wagon Commercial

Volkswagen were so proud of their “shoe box on wheels” they even based one of their most popular commercials on it. A real classic and what a beautiful vehicle!
