**The Twinkie** is John B's old VW van used by The Pogues.

## Overview

The Twinkie is brown a white with yellow and orange stripping. A lot of the paint is chipped off due to its age.

It has roof racks that are typically used to carry surfboards, as well as a skylight/vent on the roof.

The keys to The Twinkie are kept on John B's set of keys along with a big yellow keyring, the HMS Pogue keys and presumably keys to The Chateau.

## Points of Access

There are four points of access into The Twinkie:

* Drivers door
* Passengers door
* Slide door on passengers side
* Back door into platform boot area, above engine

## Seats

There is a bench seat the runs along the width of the van at the back, a single seat behind the driver's seat, along with the drive and passenger seat.

In Episode 2 The Lucky Compass, JJ can be seen lounging on the back platform behind the bench seat.

The single seat contains a storage compartment.
