Could someone possibly translate this for me. Someone private messaged me the following:
DIS MOI SI TU EN CONNAIS A VENDRE AU MOINS UN ET C'EST A ENVOYER EN FRANCE DIS MOI SI C'EST POSSIBLE
MERCI POUR TA REPONSE ET A BIENTOT
 |
According to www.freetranslation.com, it means SAYS ME IF YOU SOME KNOW HAS TO SELL AT LEAST AN AND THIS IS HAS TO SEND IN FRANCE SAYS ME IF IT IS POSSIBLE THANK-YOU FOR YOUR REPONSE AND HAS BIENTOT. Sometimes that doesn't help much.  |
What the hell  ! That just makes me want to find out what it means even more. Maybe it was Specializt speaking in French. |
Tell me if you see one for sell to send to France, tell me if its possible
thank for your answer and farewell (bientôt... kinda like see ya).
Its bad french, so kinda hard to give sense to that |

i know, lets all keep our buses stock as vw intended. Shows would be loads of fun then!!!
I like to see different when i go to a show and boy is that different. Even if you dont like what has been done you have got to admire the quality of the workmanship that has gone into it. I have seen this in the flesh a couple of times and its awesome!
ps its running 17inch berms now. |

I like it cause the stock buses out there are so boring. It's the customizers that are really keeping this hobby new and exciting.

Not being a sheep is good and dandy, but in this instance I think he fucked the sheep, not followed it.

Relax guys.... this vehicle was originally a '66 combi 🤣🤣🤣
And you may not like the "mods" but "back in the day" when the bus was built none of us here in the UK had ever seen anything like it!! Personally I like "different" however I'm not saying I'd do this to my bus but there is always something from customisations ideas that we can use is a build, I know I have! The other thing you have to take into consideration is that this bus was done years ago when bus were cheap and 20 to the dozen!!
Peace
Rikki.

i kinda like it! i would change a few little things, but a lot of craftmanship walked into this thing. even it was a barndoor, its his ride, he can do whatever he wants to it. sorry, just my thoughts.

I thought the same thing! It was like a time warp from 2005 to 2019.
