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!"

: The shop

Today we made the hour drive down to Renkom to visit Kieft and Klok which has a ton of Bus stuff. Great fun plus I picked up a set of Westy carpeting for my 77 to replace the old worn stuff. Looked at the restored and unrestored bus for sale (about 30) in the back and got to talk to the guys for a bit.
Here are some pics:
