I loved my 1959 VW micro-bus (split windscreen, etc.), and my
subsequent 1969 VW Transporter/Camper Bus with the pop-top and extra
canopy bed. Both died from the dreaded thrown 3rd cylinder. The
1969 transporter managed to leave a 5-metre strip of rubber as the
engine ceased---quite impressive! The 1959 had been through so many
engines, transmissions, and just about everything else (the body had
been modified in a body-shop to make it a true ``hippie-van''--
including the wild paint job) that, at the last, it was thought
preferable to let it just die a graceful death. The 1969 was
subsequently used as an office on oil drill site (the gas heater,
although flaky otherwise, proved a reliable heater for a stationary
micro-bus) for many years...

P.S. I love my VW Bus (72 Transporter converted into a Camper Bus).
Wish I had an OS for it, that would be cool.
You *are* the OS for it. Those were the good old days.
