Me, My Van, And I

Keith Dockar, contacted us a while back, he sent us a few images of his van asking if we’d be interested in featuring his bus? We liked the pictures so much, that we asked him to do the shoot himself. Then, to cap it all off he sent the words in too.

VW Bus T4&5+ Magazine Description:

This is the only magazine dedicated to the late model VW buses from the T4 and T5 on. The magazine acknowledges the evolution of the VW bus and spotlights where this symbol of freedom and adventure has now arrived: the T4 and T5 - taking their rightful place in the family of VW models and carrying on the tradition of quality and innovation that is the ever iconic VW Bus.
The ownership and fan base of the T4 and nowadays also the T5 has grown in recent years from a handful of these models turning up and hiding in the day visitors’ car park at the occasional VW show, to now dominating the Show n Shine paddocks throughout the season.
With affordable or good condition vintage VW buses becoming increasingly rare, the late model, front engine variants have stepped up to become the ideal solution that neatly combines the fun of owning an authentic VW bus with the practicalities of a modern vehicle.
These models also make the ideal canvas for all sorts of creative modifications with some owners being happy to clip on a shiny new set of wheel trims whilst others go the full one off custom route – versatility is the theme.
