Cheese from Holland :: YUM!
Thank you Rien and Sarah for the package that arrived recently, and all the way from Holland. The cheese was fabulous! We thoroughly enjoyed meeting you both and sharing rental stories. Can't wait to rent a CV2 from you at Vintage Road Trips and explore your homeland someday soon!
Essential Travel Gear :: Camping Catalog
This extremely hip n' happening catalog, ahem, catalogue... hails from the UK and is the graphic creation of Neil Singleton. Neil's company is called We Are Soup and they created this catalog for Just Kampers. The photos of the sage green VW (not really sage if you ask me, but I guess that's the official VW color tag) are taken by Kim of Silverbox Photographers. Kim snapped these quintessential California coastal scenes while on vacation, errr... holiday, with her family. And yes, she rented this retro 70's guacamole green Volkswagen camper bus from us, the crew at Vintage Surfari Wagons!
You can order a copy of the catalog (for free) for yourself from the folks at Just Kampers. While you're there be sure to check out all the nifty goodies they offer to complete your camping experience.
P.S. Love, love, love the catalog Neil!

I hope whatever is being said/sung here isn't offensive... the first word isn't pretty, but the imagery is!
