it was a russian copycat van. it's called a Babushka (made by the laid-off
workers from the MiG factories near Mokba) ...it runs on vodka. Biiiggggg
fuel tank.

only problem is that when you go on long trips, after about ten gallons of
fuel has been consumed, the van weaves ALL over the road, and starts
stumbling and stuttering and singing "Volga Boatman" and "Meadowland" and
songs like that.
