The MTV Most Mobile Bus
Volkswagen T2 Bus

In 1995 5 young men fresh out of the army bought a bus, said farewell to their mothers and drove south, with the promise to make a phone call every now and then. The trip took us 3 weeks and went from southern Sweden to Bruxelles, Paris, St Tropez, Monaco, Florence, and Venice. During the weeks we slept all 5 in the bus (one in the front, three on the floor, and one on top of the engine). During the trip we encountered one massive breakdown, a break-in, a flat tire, sunburns, and sickness, but spirits were high and everything was handled in stride.

After it's return the bus lived for a while longer, happily honking every time you turned left and most often simply refusing to get the gears shifted. It ended it's days on a junkyard a year later, the engine being totally broken down and with repair costs no one could take at the time.

And yes, our mother's got their calls, but only when the money ran out 🙂
