So does the Manthey
And the Manthey would have a built in heat source underneath the picnic bench to keep the pizza warm!

Well I’m now a proud owner of a 1979 VW T3 air cooled Transporter. It’s in Poland currently so now the journey begins for it to get to me in Canada. I’m pretty excited. These things really don’t exist here, especially in this good of shape. I had someone go inspect it and so far everything checks out. Hopefully I get it in a month or so.

Thanks @endo it looks good and was inspected but it doesn’t make me any less nervous. I’ve always loved these. My wife doesn’t share the same enthusiasm but is happy for me so I guess that’s all that matters.

Well the price of the truck itself was very reasonable. There is nothing for sale in this shape in all of Canada from what I could find. I found one that was pretty good and they wanted more than what this cost. I think since they are sort of rare that everyone thinks they have a pot of gold. I think in the end though I will end up paying more. Shipping is a killer, then duty, then I have to pay tax, get a safety, etc. the shipping alone is about $4500 CAD. With all that other stuff on top.
-
Yes I’ve seen a couple as well. I thought they looked horrible at first but now they are growing on me.

@tody thanks for that. You can never have too many resources when it comes to these things! And I will always need parts.

May 25th I was out celebrating my 22nd wedding anniversary coming home with my wife from a meal.
Near Manchester City football ground.
Some young kid driving his boss car smash in rear of my Audi car, while I was waiting in traffic to move.
The car was repair by insurance wasn’t happy with it anymore, today after 3 weeks I have part exchange to Mercedes first time.
Let’s see how this one turns out
