That's a great photo. But couldn't Emma have found some white boots to match the camper top/bumpers?
and a white hat ................
She is going to a belated Haloween party in a few days and dressing up as 'BIG EMMA'. I'll be sure to post a photo |

My 78 Westy is named Lucy. Short for Loose Lucy. If you drive her on the highways with a gusty side wind, the steering qualities are what inspired her name. I like to say that you don't drive her as much as you surf her.
But, as soon as I replace the steering bushings, I might have to change the name to Tight Lucy. But it just doesn't sound the same... |

I just got a '72 Bus yesterday. I've always wanted a Mini and a Westy, and have only been able to tinker with my friend's cars until now. It's in pretty good shape, though I'm not sure if it runs yet (it's -25C outside!).
The first thing I did was buy replacement door parts so I can actually close and lock her. The second thing I did was name her Amelia.
This is the start of a beautiful romance. _________________ -Ben

I called mine "Bob", short for "bucket o bolts". I don't know what notchbay calls it now- probably multiple names of four letters each. _________________ Немає виправдання для війни! Я з Україною.

It sort of morphed from Frankencamper to Corn Dog. It may change again.

Never really named my buses before, just referred to them by color - Big Red, Big Blue etc... My current bus is a little different. After spending some time hunting for a bus, she finally found me and once home Moby just seemed to fit. I just hope she doesn’t lead me to my doom

My 1971 Type II is named Hieronymus. If you know his last name and are a VW fanatic, you'll get the pun.... |
