Re: You know if you're a VW Bus driver....
39 You know you are a VW bus driver when you let your hair grow long just so you can be an appropriate accessory to your vehicle.
I've known people to do that... or at least buy a wig.
41 You know you are an ACVW driver if you recognize your friends by the vehicle rather than their face.
Come on! Admit it! You've talked about me and said: "Yea, he's that guy doing the red Notch... he calls it chris-somehting-or-another."
And your buddy said: "Ok, so his name is Chris?"
And you said: "No... I don't know his name."
50 You know you are an ACVW driver when you slow down to look at the vehicles reflection in shop windows.
Guilty as charged your honour. I admit it freely and without remourse. The idiots behind me, in their tupperware boxes, can wait for me to take the too and smell the roses too.
53 You know your a VW bus driver when no matter what happens, you can allways live in your bus.
Damn true... kinda makes me want to get a bus.

Re: You know if you're a VW Bus driver....
When friends slag off your bus in company and offer you 5 grand for it in private.
When every fuel stop is complimented by 5 offers to purchase....by fuel attendants to use as taxis
When the brakes....never mind, what brakes?
When you have some special momento hanging off the rear view mirror
When you know that you can climb any hill.....as long as you have time

Re: You know if you're a VW Bus driver....
When you spend money on "metal" rather than a new dishwasher for the wife.......
The word rust makes you feel faint........
Friends ask "when is it done" and you have used up all the excuses known to man....
Trying to explain what/where a "barndoor" is ...........
But to me you know you are a busdriver after spending a weekend a KKK...... WITH YOUR OWN BUS
