Kombi Splitty at Deus ex Machina Camperdown Sydney Australia - 7

Blimey... A Kombi in that condition would be worth a small fortune over here. I have to say this is the best looking one I've ever seen, that side-on shot is awesome. I think everyone has a story about being in a VW Camper at some point, it's a rites of passage thing. Trust you find something German and air-cooled at a bike meet! Just been on their website and it looks like a fun event.

Well, I bought something Italian & air-cooled there a couple of years ago.

You bought the Ducati there?

Si. Ducati e a bella machina. And before all you Italians write in, I blame my mac's translator for that mangling of your language.

ITALIAN PEDANTRY ALERT! La Ducati è una macchina bellissima. The way you said it, you're admitting to riding something masculine! To be honest mate, I'm half Italian and that took me more than 10 mins to work out - Nonna will not be pleased! Va fa Napoli!

OK, I'll respond in Strayan : Jeez mite, stone the flamin' crows! How's a bloke s'posed to get 'is 'ead 'round one a them Wog languages? Why the flamin' hell can't these people learn the Queen's flamin' English loike the rest of us? Roight. I'm off ta tha pub for a few beers and to get away from the missus and the tin lids.

Literally laughing out loud!

There's an utterly brilliant book called "Let Stalk Strine" - Strine being the word 'Australian' as said by one with a broad Australian accent. Google 'Strine'. Have a laugh. Hmmmm, we seem to have strayed somewhat from the automotive content inherent in the site. Sorry V & WD.
