That is my white Rabbit truck next to the Bus. This Bus is owned by John Lagos of Wisconsin. He built the recoil starter from scratch, because he used to ice fish way up north. The Bus features: a wood stove, a trap door in the floor for said fishing, a fish fryer, custom lawn chair webbing seats and a VW hubcap grill. This Bus has also fallen through the ice, TWICE! The Bus is a 1963 and John has owned it since the late 1960s. He is really a neat guy and very ingenious.
