at the moment in Belgium, we're changing to bigger European licence plates.
It's quite a discussion, but, compared to these babies...

Those are awesome old pics! The one w/ the lady cooking up breakfast while camping looks like my mother back in 58'. Any idea what the oval demolition derby/ rodeo is all about? That is too cool Thx for the photos. My old man had old volvo 444's and 544's then a 69 bug. _________________ "One man can make a difference...Jesus did." |
