Hippy Truck takes shape lol

A plain white truck isnt going to cut it so I managed to define my 66 years into 4 symbols

Another masterful creation Gus

Carols side looks like a BAD ACID TRIP, but see tells me she never touched the stuff.

I hope that ban the bomb symbol isn't going to be representative of the truck Gus   .......... what does the star represent ?
( Hope you have a ball on your adventure  mate )

Looks refrigerated Gus - sure you're heading in the right direction? 

When i was 4 I had a Sherriff's Star ( think Cowboys) . I can remember a moment looking at it pinned to by chest and thinking " i'm one lucky kid having this  ".

Every boys dream ...............we don't seem to have  many Heros any more . although Batman is still popular with my young grand-kids .

Batman ,I like it , the Black Caped Crusader . I was looking for another emblem . That's tomorrows job . Stay tuned ,same bat forum .

Who needs a $100,000 Winnebago when a  truck costs $11,000 and a tail lift $600.Windows from a ute canopy I had no use for .

The Tardis symbol seems more appropriate.  Got the sherif star but what about the Bandit he has to catch?

So when is the big trip Gus?

Waiting for house to go unconditional ,should be in next 3 days .If it happens ,maybe in about 3 weeks .If it falls though , a bit longer .

We went to the caravan and camping show yesterday . $80,000 for a caravan and $50,000 to tow it .
Its official ,were ferals . Lasted about 10 mins and walked out . What a joke .

I know they want ridiculous money just for a trailer with a tent in it.

Did you consider the advantages of making it look like a commercial vehicle?... you never see signs saying " No overnight shipping"

In the same vane. 
If you can enter the pantec from the rear of the cabin, ie cab is joined to pantec with a flexible membrane, then it becomes a camper RV and is no longer a commercial vehicle. Rego and greenslips are cheeper, in NSW at least. Unsure about Tassie.

That's a bit different to SA, here as long as at least 60% of the available load area is taken up with a permanently fitted bed, other cupboards etc and it has a kitchen, it becomes a "Motorised Caravan" and as such, no longer a commercial vehicle

Its two weeks till  " STEADY " (Hippy truck's name  ) hits the road. Destination is Ables Bay Tasmania .
I just looked it up on google and there is a town just above us called WOODSTOCK .
That's a good omen .   Truck should fit right in .

Will you be performing at Woodstock?

Given the lack of mobile coverage ( telstra is best I believe ) in parts of Tassie , does that mean you will be off line for a while Gus ? .................if so ,I will wish you well , and I hope you enjoy your new adventure .( If you do have coverage, I look forward to your updates )
