Re: 1995 Ford Eldorado Shuttle bus

LOL

Hey guy's ! !
Yes I was out of Belgium for a little 2 months having a long vacation in the south of France.
I even fired up an old double decker bus.
Together with the son of the Airstream and retro camping where we stayed this summer.
The bus was used in the '80s when the camping owners had a circus.
Now the son lives in it.
Below you will see some photo's.
The you tube film will follow one of these days if you are intrested.

Yes We have seen the news and heard of the shutdown.
Here in Belgium we are having lots of fun with our new king. (NERD ! ! !)
He is the kind of type who doesn't dare to give the queen a kiss in public or on tv.
Anyway, we are doing well in our rainy Flanders.
I have lots of work at the port of Antwerp with my night shifts.

How are your toys doing?
Still on the road and having fun tailgating with your friends?

Im having this idea to make a medieval Templar interrior.
My wife and me are brainstorming about the setup and the decoration.
I have to make a bed that goes up with a winch in the back of the bus so my Harley fits under it when it's loaded inside.
This is going to be a system like a bridge that is lifted up.
However,
I still have lots of work to do and the winter is almost there so it is getting colder to work outside.
It is again great to hear from you all.
We keep you posted and I will put some more picts on the forum.

Here some picts of the ALBION bus.




































We firded up also the Argosy behind the red bus but it didn't went well.
The carburettor has to be cleaned up.
A job for next years vacation hahahahaha.
Bye for now ! !

Greetings
Charley

You should grab that double-decker. It would fit right in with your airstream.

Re: 1995 Ford Eldorado Shuttle bus

Thanks guys,

I' am sorry that I did not have some more picts posted my friends.

The Christmas and new year scene is the worst ever.
It is raining here sinds mid november and it is about 12°C (53.6°F)
It looks like we are going to the summer again.

Maybe I can please you with some picts from last year.
The scene looks the same right now.

Re: 1995 Ford Eldorado Shuttle bus

A few friends of me filmed at our home for the website Custom motorcycles in Belgium.
http://www.custommotorrijder.be

It was an interview about my 1996 Harley Davidson FAT BOY and also of the toys we have at our place.
It is a little bit over acting but it was fun to do.

The language that we speak is Antwerp.
It is a dutch dialect but there are English sutitles.

Here we go ! !

It's a little bit stupid but very funny to do.

Re: 1995 Ford Eldorado Shuttle bus

It's always a dream to visit the States and drive with a Harley or a camper on your roads and see how big the country is.
Maybe next year?
Who knows?

But I don't know where to start first.

How long can I stay in America?
And the most important,
WILL I RETURN TO BELGIUM AGAIN??

Maybe you don't want me to live in America?


Every day waffles and big and heavy beers, loud noises from Harley's and busses ! ! !
Tailgating and BBQ Pit boy's ! !
Nobody would want me as a neighbour ! !

Great movie, lots of great toys. If you make it across the pond, there's always a place to park in northern Indiana. I've got 20 acres to play on.
