A Vanner Putting His Retirement to Good Use

Each year in early May, Don packs up his TransVan with his Honda Scrambler on the back and heads to Chicago...


to eat at Chicago's food joints, visit family and work on their vehicles... 
In THAT order!  

Along the way, we are treated with photos of his trip which include tourist spots and other vanners he stops by to visit...

"Nipring" travels 140 miles to have lunch with Don in Chicago

A retired mechanic who currently resides near the San Diego area, Don is still turning a wrench, only now he can pick and choose what he wants to work on and when he wants to do it (and he's always busy)...  Donivan65, as he is well know as in the Vintage-Vans.com & Vintage Chevy Van Club forums, goes above and beyond "the call of duty" to help other vanners out with their repair or restoration problems.  Don will often supply pictures, diagrams or use his own van to help explain...

In his own way, he is this generation's embodiment of the "Shell Answer Man"!


Work is a four letter word to Don...  No matter what he's doing, he likes to have a little fun too!
