So some of what I'm seeing here is people with:

an eye for the unusual,

logic (it really is a useful vehicle),

dedication, (these vans do need attention, and from what I've read,
people are likely quite  dedicated to their careers. Past or present)

varied careers/skills and hands on experience (a lot of musos I know
are actually quite handy. hey you have to learn how to fix you own
stuff to make ends meet!).

Contrary to popular belief, most artists (widely applied term) are
pragmatic people who see things differently, and try different ways of
doing things. Vanagons/Westies certainly are a different way of doing
things.

Cheers,
