Crazy Camper

Don't think I've shared this with you guys before.
It's a camper van covered in artificial grass, with eyelashes, and a cameo picture frame showing the owners' portrait.
A bit odd, I thought.

We had one smaller than that cruising around town for a little while. I'm not sure if there's a purpose to it or if people are just getting a little crazy.

It certainly looks it Raymond! They added the 'eyelashes' between there and here I reckon.

If there is a purpose to it, then it totally evades me.

It looks the same Leon. It has the Oval picture frame on the drivers side.
Either there are a few of these, or they have done a complete tour of Australia.

It's a 'green' van...

It's actually a DIY "organic eddy baffle" for drag reduction and improved fuel economy. A bit like shark skin...

They certainly have enjoyed an extensive tour of the country Leon.
