Been there and got the tshirt as they say.
Took Seamus and found about 6 other busses in the lots. Most were camping in the lot for the night. We, unfortunately had to drive home.

One of my friends recently received an advertising leaflet for Cox & Cox in their mail box, of which this is the front cover featuring a 1968~73 VW Type 2 campervan; which noting the absence of a separate sliding-door lock is probably of 1968~73 model-year.

from AAA
| Quote: |
BUFFALO, N.Y. (WIVB) — AAA has offered some helpful tips for keeping your Christmas tree on top of your car.
“If it isn’t properly secured on a vehicle, the tree can become a dangerous projectile, endangering others on the road,” AAA says.
According to AAA research, road debris caused more than 200,000 crashes over a four-year period. Those crashes resulted in roughly 39,000 injuries and 500 deaths.
Improperly secured Christmas trees could also result in up to $1,500 in repairs for drivers.
Here are some tips for getting it home safely, courtesy of AAA:
Do not visit a tree lot if you or anyone from your family has tested positive for COVID-19 or are experiencing COVID-related symptoms.
Call the lot ahead of time and ask about their policies for visiting. It is possible they may have reduced operating hours or are limiting the amount of people who can visit the lot at one time. It is also a good idea to ask when they are slow and plan to visit then, when crowds may be smaller.
Although most lots are located outside, it is recommended to wear a face covering and practice social distancing. Bring hand sanitizer and keep it nearby while shopping.
Make sure to bring strong rope or nylon ratchet straps, an old blanket, gloves and of course – the right vehicle. One with a roof rack is ideal but a pickup truck, SUV, van or minivan can work just as well.
Once you’ve found the perfect tree, have the lot wrap it in netting before loading it. Loose branches can also be secured with rope or twine to help protect the tree from damage.
Prior to loading the tree, cover the roof with an old blanket to prevent scratches to the paint and protect the car from any damage.
Place the tree on the roof rack or in the bed of the truck with the trunk facing the front of the car. If the vehicle does not have a roof rack and is a SUV, CUV, van or minivan – place the tree inside. If not, rent or borrow a proper vehicle.
Secure the tree at its bottom, center and top using strong rope or nylon ratchet straps. Avoid using the twine offered by many tree lots. Use fixed vehicle tie-down points and loop the rope or strap around the tree trunk above a branch to prevent any side-to-side or front-to-rear movement.
Once tied down, give the tree several strong tugs from various angles to make sure it is secured in place and will not come loose.
Drive slowly and take back roads if possible. Higher speeds can create significant airflow that can damage your tree or challenge even the best tie-down methods. |

[quote="danfromsyr"]from AAA
A Christmas tree of that size would not fit in most British homes and it's debatable whether one could readily obtain one of that size anyway.
Traditionally, since the end of World War 2, Norway has sent a very large FREE Christmas tree to Great Britain for public display, in recognition of our major contribution to their defense from the Nazi invaders, in which we sank a large proportion of the German naval destroyers in a single engagement, years before the USA entered the war. People were also ferried secretly to and from Norway, by means of the "Shetland Bus" during much of the war.

That graphic is cool, but your website leaves a lot to be desired.
If you’re gonna pimp the bus, you best be representing. Look me up on Strava, my user name is Rich Parker there too…

It's interesting to note that those two blue-coloured VW Type 2s, appear to be RIGHT-HAND DRIVE   . Perhaps they were owned by some of the many British expatriates living in Portugal. I hope that hammock wasn't attached to the cab-door handle!?! 
Note the single-burner Camping Gaz stove (or very similar) mounted on the small, disposable butane-gas cartridge, which people typically use for back-packing camping trips. For those, I have a small, petrol-fired, classic Optimus cooking-stove that I bought in the early-1970s, for Duke of Edinburgh Award expeditions.

I have yet to see this Lidl advertisement / promotion in Great Britain, where LiDL and Aldi are progressively increasing their market share.

I have yet to count how many 1968~79 VW Type 2s turn up in their car parks!?!
