I was sorting through my junk mail when this picture stared me in the face. There are several pictures of this beautiful orange Thing throughout the catalog. They sell t-shirts - even have a few bus t-shirts - but unfortunately no Thing shirts.

yes - it's odd - but looks very well executed. It also appears as if the top may be black on the inside and orange on the outside?

She's getting ready to pick one up and smack him in the head.

Get those pineapples off of the seats. The juice will eat a hole in them.

Looks like it might have a Monza style four tip exhaust. If that style will fit...

| This Thing belongs to a guy named Marty who lives here on Oahu. He is a transplant from Vegas. I don't think he is an active member on the Samba site. I'll ask him next cruise night we have if he is on here. His Thing is really sweet, the pictures in the Crazy Shirts catalogue don't do it really do it much justice. |
