    Oh, COOL! I used to have a model of one of these when I was really little. They were my brothers' [9 and 10 years older than me] before I had. It disappeared one day.

    They must be great in the sunshiney summertime. Not so much in the blustery snowy winter.
    (Oops, sorry. I was responding to pic #155)

    Not a vintage bus but still a bus and a pretty darn cool photo.

    It may not be an SLR, but circling the Daimler Benz test track in Untertürkheim in a 408-bhp Setra 411 Club Bus still must be pretty exhilarating. The track’s 90-degree banking and 15-kilometer length opened in 1967, and as you can see above, makes damn near anything a low-rider.
