Description

The Surfie Bus is 1962 model kombi van decorated with flowers, doves, hearts and peace symbols.  A late entry in the bingo moving cache race, the Surfie Bus needs to make up for lost time.

 

Kombis were used in their day as a transport option for large families as well as for camping or as party vans for the young and the young at heart.  Now, restored kombis stand out in the crowd of modern 4 wheel drives and small round town cars.

 

Please move the Surfie Bus at least one kilometre and within two days.  Please hide it somewhere safe from prying eyes but where he can be moved on quickly.

 

Love and Peace!!
