Great thread.
Really enjoy seeing the pics of your local scene - keep them coming.
Good luck with your bus, it's getting there slowly.

uh some long time i didn`t write here , meanwhile we had a trip to Belgrade, Serbia for BUBA BEOGRAD meeting the car worked perfectly except the electrical part, the fuse box (i had the yellow one) it cracked in 5-6 pieces so on the road to there i had only the meeting light and one brake light . we solved there thanks to generosity of some guys from Serbia which had a fuse box which had only 10 fuses but we solved . i will put a link to some pics

and about a week ago we had an international meeting here in Romania BBM2012 ,we had a videoprojection from my bus , and two of my friends slept in my bus because they forgot the taint at home , and you will see there we sell hand made beads , bracelets and earrings, we`ve lost 2 hub caps on the road to there and one on the way home , we took a small vacation and visit some cities and made one of the greatest roads in Europe , the Transafagarasan , it is a very hard road but it was just amazing , in the middle of the road it`s an glacial lake , and a tunnel 1 km long , i will put some pics here sorry they are a bit mixed up but you will get it
