Kapunda - week 47.
The Farm Fair was on yesterday and today. Lots of tractors and headers and solar systems and sheep and rainwater tanks and lovely old steam engines to see. Also the star of the best movie ever made who lives just down the road at Freeling. Chocko wasn't allowed in to see him because she's a dog which is a bit discriminatory. Dustan is a dog too but he's a film star. Barossa Funerals dragged out their immaculate 1940 Studebaker for the occasion. Isn't it beautiful?
It has a basket-weave coffin in the back. Maybe they were fashionable in the old days. The running boards are very wide for 1940. Perhaps the pall bearers rode on the side.

It's huge!
The trailing arms were like girders and the rear springs and shockers were monstrous. The big V8 hangs out the back. Off roaders can't get away from the Volksie principles they were brought up on can they?

First rear/mid engined racing car was a Benz in 1923 which predates the VW by a fair bit. And of course the Porsche designed Auto Unions in the 1930's. saying that all off-road buggies copy their design from VW buggies is a bit like saying the current McLaren and maybe all F1 cars now owe their design to John Cooper.
