Thanks blair for posting the video. Seeing all that new hardware is exciting to me. When I look at my SMB with it's sketchy past, scratched and dented burgundy paint, slightly swelling MDF cabinets, humped roof, 6.0 that will fail the next time I drive and all the not cool anymore things about it, I get so happy that I've been lucky enough to own one for the last 12 years.

Uncanny...I'd swear you were describing my marriage!

That sure is a bigger operation they've got there since the last time I visited 18 years ago!
Curious they still have those two classic Sportsmobiles in there. But without their "Sportsmobile" logos?

I didn't notice the lack of logos when I was there but bet its a legal thing. I did notice their floor models are now up for sale on their website though. Too rich for my blood!

Thanks for sharing this video. For a very long time, I wanted to travel in a van with my friends. I remember when we went out for walks, and we all dreamed of when we would have a driver's license to rent a van and go on trips. And here we are, now that in 5 days we will start our journey to Athens by van. I am very excited, and I am sure this will be one of the best experiences of my life. Plus, I found on https://www.freetour.com/athens free tours through Athens, so our days will be full of excursions. I can not wait!

I had that same dream--- until I did such a thing, being trapped in a vehicle for more than a few hours did NOT suit me!
