The car was a "Kombi", sorry I don't know the english

How do you call this type of car?
Lines & O's? An ASCII-mobile? ;)
I think you have a "station wagon". A very important piece of
equipment for the collector.
Actually, the Kombi stands a bit taller than a station wagon,
but doesn't sit as high above the road as an SUV... IIRC...
sort-of a cross between them, with some genes from a VW Microbus
and Land Rover thrown in (although Kombis predate the Microbus)...
I'm told many are outfitted for camping excursions.
