Nah, it's never too much.

Whenever I see your bus hoonin' around Perth it gets me motivated about getting mine going.

The only 'splitty' that I've ever owned was a 1957 D Series, 4 ton Bedford truck which was called Bootle Bumtrincket after a boat in Gerald Durell's novel, My Family and Other Animals.

It had a split windscreen.

That sort of qualifies. Doesn't it?

I can just picture it.... no VW badge on the front doesn't quite count, but sounds like it was well loved - having a name and all. Good on yer, nice try

I would surely think it had water sloshing around in it too and you know what a lot of peeps think of H2O.

Nice try shaihulud just the same.

Those Bedfords are great trucks though, my grandfather had one (i think it was a 60's model) that was set up like a gypsy camper in the back with jarrah floorboards.

Quite frankly it was a rather ugly looking thing, but a hoot to drive in.

It was previously owned by some Orange People so of course it was bright orange in colour.
