10 Slightly Strange Uses for the VW Kombi
We all know VW Kombis are very versatile - after all, you can live in them without too much trouble! But some very creative and, let's face it, sometimes crazy people around the world have turned the much-loved icons into some weird and wonderful creations. Here are 10 uses for a Kombi that may never have crossed your mind!
Kombi Cafe
This is a popular one and there are many examples of Kombis around the world being turned into cafes, restuarants, bars and ice cream vans. I love this one though because you can actually sit up at the Kombi on bar stools and eat your food. The addition of the awning to the raised roof and the fold-down side that forms a bar makes this a very groovy Kombi cafe.

Kombi Monster Truck
Giving a Kombi more power can never be a bad thing. No one would dare blast their horn in you in this one!

Kombi Garden
The VW Kombi's history of peace and love lends itself very nicely to transforming a Kombi into a garden.

Kombi Garden Shed
On the topic of gardens this Kombi is a jack of all trades. It is apparently a chicken coop in the back, a garden shed in the front, and a strawberry patch in the tyres!

Kombi Pool Table
This is an oldie but a goodie - a VW Kombi Splitscreen pool table. Makes me sad to see a Kombi taken off the road, but how cool would this be in your house!

Kombi Photo Booth
This is a pretty rad idea - a photo booth in a Kombi that can be hired for weddings and other functions for the enjoyment of your guests! This Kombi Cam is actually based in Melbourne - so there's a cool idea for your next party!

Kombi Trailer
Despite the size of a Kombi you can just never fit everything in when you're packing for that big trip. Solution? A Kombi trailer! Matches well with your Kombi and adds to the charm, although it might cause a bit of trouble up those big hills!

Stretch Kombi
Such a dream - a Kombi big enough to fit the whole wedding party in! There's one of these in Byron Bay that does weddings and events, and it's also starting tours of the area. Now that's cruising in style!
Kombi Tank
Not sure if this would speed up or slow down a Kombi, but it sure would make it easier to go off road! However this Kombi tank is slightly incongruous with the peace and love image Kombis have traditionally represented!

Kombi... giant robot?
Not sure what to say about this one... a work of art? A scary vision of when machines turn against us? Definitely strange.
