Hi Steven, 

Those unusual Bus items are definitely out there.  Some too expensive for me.  Anyone have one of those beautiful charcoal grills shipped like a bus?

I have a nice Vanagon set of hooks perfect for keys.  A flat fromt of a vanagon with hooks along the bottom. 

I have a nice vanagon bottle opener as well.  The pop top is up and you use the pop top to pop the top on a bottle. 

Fun stuff out there!

Last year they found a cookie jar shaped like an early bus.  I don't know where they are getting these things, but they often come up with something interesting, and Bus/Vanagon/VW related.
