[OT] Re: Bush-like weasel words about standalone, now micro-busses

[John Vokey]

I loved my 1959 VW micro-bus (split windscreen, etc.), and my  
subsequent 1969 VW Transporter/Camper Bus with the pop-top and extra  
canopy bed.  Both died from the dreaded thrown 3rd cylinder.  The  
1969 transporter managed to leave a 5-metre strip of rubber as the  
engine ceased---quite impressive!  The 1959 had been through so many  
engines, transmissions, and just about everything else (the body had  
been modified in a body-shop to make it a true ``hippie-van''-- 
including the wild paint job) that, at the last, it was thought  
preferable to let it just die a graceful death.  The 1969 was  
subsequently used as an office on oil drill site (the gas heater,  
although flaky otherwise, proved a reliable heater for a stationary  
micro-bus) for many years...
