Neat pix.� I recognized the "spotlight van" from your previous descriptions.� The green Doka is most likely a Jagdwagen; the special hunting variant of the vehicle.

short time���and snapped some pretty mundane pics. (linked below)���There
were three rows of Vanagons, a bunch of Syncros and lots of cold shivering
people, some even drinking beer.���I was re-exposed to "Syncro-envy"
looking at all the cool syncros and Dokas.� � One couple showed up in a new
to them Westie, 82 I think, that they'd just picked up for $500 in
remarkable condition.� There was one green double cab syncro with an
external roll cage, some westies with solar panels, lots of neat looking
aftermarket bumpers and racks.���There were a few 'low rider' looking
rigs...skinny tires on bit wheels...and some lifted syncros on tall wheels
with skidplates etc.���a pug doggie with a Hoodie on.....� fun stuff.
