Of course I'll be reporting on Dutch cars & trucks. Have always appreciated the no-nonsense aesthetic of euro-trucks. We hope to buy an aged VW bus for traveling around Europe: possibly heading to Spain for Christmas. Never have owned a VW bus so any tips on shopping for a used one appreciated. Don;t see many in Maine but there were dozens buzzing around Vancouver last month:
Trucks, cars, highways, landscape, good writing. "You cannot travel on the path, before you have become the Path itself."
