I'll always hold the press for an Airstream sighting.This little piece of happy joy crossed my path at work recently.Like something out of a Norman Rockwell painting,an empty shell all ready for a little TLC.

About Me
- the Slow Schlepper
- Melbourne, Victoria, Australia
- Having spent most of my working life at sea, as a sailor in the merchant marine,I have recently come ashore for a second go as a land lubber.The first time I was retrenched due to the GFC and I went back to sea on the Bass Strait ferries .Three years later,here I am. My job as a cargo super involves a company car and a small amount of driving around, which I try to keep to a minimum. This blog is my view of the world from the saddle and also a diary of my passion for old, steel framed French treadlies.

A thing of beauty...!!
-Trevor
Sigh! Please tell me I'm not the only person to daydream about selling up and living in a 'silver bullet' for life the second I see these things. Mind you, the Retro VW campers have the same effect. The only thing stopping me is I'd have to drive :-)
It most certainly is,PT. The solid brass name plate, the hand punched rivets and how about the gorgeous streamlined profile? If you flipped the last image, you have a classic aluminium clinker built boat!
cheers,
Ian
No you don't,BB. For a small sum you could have it delivered to the dream location of your choice.This one was completely gutted so I imagined have a fancy pants architect re build the interior for me. All very 'Vogue Living'/'Habitat'.
In the meatime,I'll go online and purchase an Airstream cap!
cheers,
ian
