No complaints about fords. Our previous Ford econoline with the "Dr. =
Leaky" style motor racked up 276K and was just turned over to the church =
for them to use to help pick up folks that needed a lift to church =
functions. Runs perfectly, providing you make weekly sacrifices to the =
petroleum distillary 'gods'... I think our last trip, pulling my =
parents Airstream, we got 5mpg. Hate to think of the riot we would =
start in Washington if that news got out! =20
ps. Not to get too far off topic. My dad started me out on the =
rangefinders and airstreams back in the 70's. He'd let me take family =
pics and drive the 'rig' when on vacations, and I thought I had life =
made!!! Kpeters

Nice photo of a nice Airstream from the 60s.

Ok, to get us back on track, here's a pic of our Rover and Rig =
taken with a IIIf BD with 50mm summicron on E100 Kodak slide film, =
scanned with the olympus scanner with optional woodgrain interior. Long =
live the Queen! Sorry to have gotten sidetracked off the Leica topics, =
perhaps this will bridge the gap! Aesthetic form and function all =
together. Price, schmice, go get the checkbook and stop whining! ! =
