I never thought to play fiddle during my last backyard campsite engine rebuild. I guess that's why it didn't work out.
Now making plans for the next go 'round.

I'll add it to the list. Gotta find a matching toque, and lose 100 lbs, too.

Some cool stuff here - Bosch sign, Bus, and Westy trailer
I think that might be a Bay Window though.
Anyway, posting it for Westy trailer too as I think those are more popular with Split Bus people |
Well, I was most distracted by the lovely two pairs... but did anyone notice that the Bus is wearing quite possibly an advertisement for 'Volkswagen Tourist Delivery'?
Yeah  |

Yes, I was wondering if it's a courtesy Bus at the factory, delivering people from the Bench, where they came from the airport or train station, to go get their new VW from inside the factory.
Trailer for ??? Maybe storing extra luggage from the passengers.

Mom can't cook, but she "thinks" she can, the rest of the family suffers. Too bad the dog isn't in the pic, it's likely very well fed.  |
the mom is skinny, too. pettycoats. remember? |
My parents grew up in post war Britain. There was rationing. Not sure where that pic was taken, but there was a certain amount of hunger in Europe after the war, through the fifties. Farmers kids had more food. The American cousins sent chocolate for Easter. It wasn't to be had in the shops there. My mom's Dutch friend had a winter where they ate grass and dirt, and people starved, as the Nazis did a scorched ground campaign.
People have gotten wider and rounded in the decades since. Over 70% of over 20s in the USA are overweight or obese. That is what we see as normal, so we think not-overweight people are skinny. Europe less so, but moving that direction too.
