Re: Buses I see while traveling Europe
Which reminds me:
I arrived in Frankfurt, West Germany in May of 1968 to begin a tour of duty with the US Army. A OD Green Army bus picked us up at Rhine Main Airport to take us into town. When we got into downtown Frankfurt, one of the new arrivals, a hillbilly from Arkansas, said, " Jesus, look at all the foreign cars!"
