I found this in west 40th Vancouver.

Interesting.





I see that guy all the time, he owns the eatery sushi restaurant on West 4th, we have the same colour car so we always stop and say hi.  Pretty cool guy hes always around the west end.  He used to have the VW sticker on the front as well.  Theres one for sale on craigslist right now also.

Although not aircooled, I saw a double cab Euro van pickup today parked outside Hansig Automotive.  Never seen one of those before.
