I was merely voicing my agreement with the ad copy that clearly states "This thing is rad".
I am also in full agreement that it is brown. (and white) |
I was just trying to be stoopid funny. I'm old but used to hearing RAD 30 years ago. (from RADical) It's NOT RAD, in my estimation. It's okay. IT Does NOT take my breath away.
There ARE a few that DO TAKE MY BREATH AWAY.
John Tauxe's 4 door 77 DOKA; there was a blue restored 70 DOKA for sale a couple years ago. There was a 1970 owner modified camper that had carried its owners over 6 (?) continents- it had covers to keep the bandits out.
(Maybe we should start such a thread?)

It's not a bad bus. The color (gold?), front uppolstry and carpet panels are pretty gross though. The price is not rad.

Sorry, I was trying to be stoopid funny, too. I should have used a stoopid smiley face.

You know you're old when you think "1982? That's not very long ago."
Ooops, yes it is.

A 70 Westy with a RIV top. Pretty nice, but yes, It oughta be perfect for even less than that. Fix the brakes? hell no, just sell the gold mine as is.

A Stereo bus without even a stereo? I does appear to have one of the rear seats upside down and visible thru the window.
Was running when parked is almost as stupid as saying it used to run good. They were once all new and none are now.
That's my story.

I was looking for Bosch H4s on Ebay and I see this seller wants $1,399 for ONE Headlight, but hey, it's for a Porsche:
