Yup - I'm reliving my teens and twenties.  I got a '64 spit when I was 18 or so, and at around 20 I added a '67 split window camper van (mini pop top, full camping interior, louvre windows...).  The spit ended up in a drainage culvert, and I long sold the VW.  So a mere 35 years later, following my divorce going through last year I got a '66 spit and just bought the '85 van to go camping with my son and girlfriend and her daughter.
