I remember that bus and band from my student days. They often used to perform at our jols.
Very cool band and definitely worth having at a campout. They did produce some CD's so if you don't know their music have a listen.
Wanted parts:
Left sunvisor
Sink faucet
Exhaust to swap for Beetle exhaust

The story of their last bus burning made it onto these forums somewhere. I've never heard the band, but I once spotted their old Fleetline panelvan with Beetle roof on the Pelindaba road back in the 1990s.

Thanks Leon, we'll accept your offer to get them to the next KKKult kamp-out! :hangloose:
