The action of driving/walking around rural and urban areas on the lookout for older model vans. Once vans have been located a picture of the van is then taken and sent to your friends as trophies. Points for original vans, vans with that, "something extra" usually something extra creepy... what the french would say "je ne sais quoi". Also vans in compromising situations. IE, schoolyard, trailer park, church bake sale, etc.
Dude check out that gnarly unicorn mural on this van! Solid vanspotting!
