I've often wanted a larger snow-chaser, but a Syncro is the largest 4WD that will fit in my dinky garage ..

The Star Chamber - Movie Reviews- Hidden Treasures
Movie Guy 24/7 | Movie Guy 24/7-Movies on the mind all the time !

The Star Chamber is a very good movie that could have been great had the director ... After one of the officers says that he smells marijuana,
they search the van ...


And if you saw the movie, its rather creepy...

We never had one, but dad did a lot of carpet in them and his buddy at the body shop did a lot of custom work.

The wife and I were just talking about this. We'd love to have a minivan-based basic camper for long road trips. Something like this: jucyrentals.com

I had a VW camper back in high school...closest to a conversion van I ever got:


When I was a young kid, there was a conversion van rolling around my suburban NJ town that had a Star Wars mural on the side. Death Star, Chewbacca, Luke, Han, Leia and Vader. I thought it was the coolest thing I had ever seen

I helped build the racks and paint this van.

Turbodiesel, kitchen, bed, and a LOUD PA system. It shoots fire as well.

I had this conversion van last year to use at the track. Not exactly a '70's shag carpet love shack, but it's a great way to keep the rain off your head. Sold it off at the end of the season, bit too small. Haven't replaced it yet, but am thinking of a c-class RV.

My uncle had a pretty groovy van, quite the road trip machine. If you get one, don't forget the bumper sticker. If this van's a rockin', don't come knockin'

I forgot, one of the other projects dad was involved in was featured in one of the dirt bike magazines. It was a custom limo with a motorcycle rack on top and dad did all the carpet for it, including the roof. Jim Avery had it built.
