Looking forward to that one!
Also, what do you guys think will happen to the prices of busses (rear-engined ones) after this movie has gone all over the world? I think maybe it will get a few more souls interested and, at least in North America, prices will rise. Who knows?

A quote taken from the newspaper article ....
"Musician Dave Manning allows that he hasn’t paid rent in five years, because he lives in his VW bus, travelling around from gig to gig.
It’s a fairly bare-bones existence, and Manning is constantly pulling out his screwdriver and wrench to tweak the old engine back to life. But he takes it all philosophically.
“You meet the best people when you break down,” Manning states. “Because the jerks don’t stop.”
Manning is friends with a couple in Phoenix who bonded over their love of the “hippie bus.” Their wedding vows “were out of a VW workshop manual,” and they exchanged VW rings.
“She was cute, she was smart,” says the husband with a smile. “She can weld, she can sew, and she can build an engine. ... it’s just hard to find a good bus girl.”
Paul ...... they are out there you know
