Hey Horst, I recognise the sweater you are wearing from Aberdeen but I notoce that this time you have a coat to go over it!! :lol:
For those who don't understand, Horst showed up at Aberdeen in the USA wearing a sweater which would normally be fine for that time of year. BUT, It was freakin cold and windy and raining! Horst is one tough guy, he would not accept any offers of warm coats, I think he knew we were all ill prepared also, and he enjoyed the show even though he had to be freezing!

Top,
Try to attend next year as France is not too far from Kent :wink:

Rick,
Last year's show was very wet . Luckily, the weather was great this year.
Come to think of it, I didn't see any top bows on Horst's mutt. And I think he drove (with no roof on)600 miles each way!
He is one tough guy alright :twisted:

Floyd,
I bet the operating instruction plates will all be written in Russian. So if you can read Russian, I'll relay your request to the owner :)

Now Jay, You go to a military vehicle show wearing BDU pants and a T-shirt with a VW microbus on it!? That was the ultimate antiwar vehicle! Remember the movie Full metal jacket? The officer commenting on Jokers peace symbal on his helmet? :lol: :lol: And yes I have had several and I am still kicking myself for getting rid of my 71 camper!

I remember that scene when Joker was referring to the "yin and yang "thing.
That is one of my favourite films ever.
