It may well be, but the board states 'bread and butter', so is misrepresenting, at least. Good on your daughter, but for how long does she bake her vegans?

Is it bad that in head, I thought "Ah yes. Get the barbeque out and Spit roast the vegan..............ah..........."

Thanks to The Storm, I can conclusively say the BX is watertight.

Managed to find a new vehicle for the Father in Law which should hopefully be easier to live with than his very tired T4.

So much storage and many quirky features. 

 

Anyone want to buy a rough T4?

I bought an ickle widdle bitty compressor. It's so cute!

 

3 gallon, good enough for tires and stuff and not too heavy either. Not bad for $60 including the pipe and fittings.

How noisy is it? I got a clearance fifty quid Lidl compressor for the same sort of job. Pumps the tyres up really quickly but doesn't half make a racket.

Moped loud. Similar noise too.

They also made this apparently, the Supercargo:

Did a bit of googling on this, and apparently it featured in what appears to be a German TV series, co-produced by a chap called:

Watched a bit further, and apparently the truck had a dashboard which looked like this:

Is it possible that L.C. is related to Glen A.?

TADTS; direct drive compressors making a racket that is, as opposed to belt-drive jobbies.

Send that pic to Billy Shatner (The unXplained) It's clearly Mothman and conclusive*proof. The fence is 20 feet high just for scale.... Etc.

How rough exactly...less rough than mine?

I've seen plenty worse!

Not as rough as T4s get certainly, but definitely not pretty.  2.5TDI, almost never washed, had some welding, weep from the steering rack and plenty of marks a couple of scrapes, but it's on the road and has been a daily up until now and always had work done to it when needed.  Doesn't look rusty on the top, but the dirt might be hiding some secrets.

I could probably fly it into EMA & then just roll it down the hill to the field behind my house.

I'll give 'em a bell.
