Eddie, Leading Man in Music Video

The Covinas, an L.A. indie-pop band, shot this video in late 2009. Their video features "Eddie", our '79 Mexi Beige Westie. We've had quite a few rental requests for photo shoots, promo tours, props, weddings and now a music video... oh, and one commercial shot at Zuma Beach for Verizon. Recently we were turned down for a photo shoot when it was discovered our buses weren't gritty enough!

Last Christmas the Kindt family of 4 visited us from Belgium. They rented one of our buses (Albie), toured the California Coast and spent their vacation surfing. After returning home they submitted their surf travel adventure story to Swell Magazine (#20, page 61). Back home in Belgium the Kindt's run a hip, happenin' surf/sail/stand-up paddle/kayak business called Twins Club. They've returned this Christmas and are currently out there, somewhere on our coast surfing. So, if you see a green 1979 Westie with a plate by the name of Honu Li'u please say hello and give them a warm (they'll need it right now) welcome!

These folks from Canada rented Nalu Imi from us last winter. They have 7 uploads on YouTube, and I must  say they are very clever videos indeed! I especially like the Block Island Wedding video. Here is their Nalu Imi video, and yes, it snows in Southern California in the winter time!


Hi Bill and Diane,

Great to hear from you - and I've been meaning to send you a link to the video for ages, seriously. I'm glad you went ahead and posted it on your blog. I've attached a few photos of our wonderful little bus for you to post if you like. We can't thank you enough for the memories you've given us by providing us with the most amazing vehicle to take us on our adventures across California - even a wicked snow storm didn't stop us from having one of the best Christmases yet. 

Thank you for your well wishes and many happy returns to you. You guys have a lot of fans up here in Canada - maybe we'll have to convince them to come on a convoy with us!

Please find attached a few pics from my trip. I just want to say thanks again for being a huge part of my trip, which turned into a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The van was great and the advice and service received from Bill was fantastic.

Cheers - hope to see you again someday.

Eddie shipped to Sundance for the Film Festival



I wanted to add this to our "in the news" archive here on the blog only because I think it's kinda cool... a while back Eddie was loaded up on a trailer and shipped to Utah. He was used as a prop for the then upcoming movie 'Little Miss Sunshine'. If you haven't seen the movie it's about a family determined to get their young daughter into the finals of a beauty pageant. They take a hilarious cross-country trip in their VW bus.
