Baron von Richthofen

Post by OldBluT2 »

As part of the ol' LEAKOIL Shuffle, the '71 Westy from NM to Josh to Kirk now belongs to Denise and me. The Westy formerly known as "Josh's old bus" has now been dubbed "Baron von Richthofen", (aka: the Red Baron). You may simply call him, "The Baron". Looking forward to our first campout.

Congrats David! I am thrilled to see that this bus stayed in the Leakoil family. I am sure that you and your family will make great memories in the red baron.

Rumor has it that Kirk is buying an old Shuttle with the $. :lol: Probably going to run a single port! :lol:

But I'm afraid if I do keep it in there it will be 14 years bad luck!
