Today's post will be about cars. As some of you may have noted, I've become obsessed with a British car show called Top Gear. As a result, I've found two motor vehicles I would like to own.
The first would be for myself. It's not a grocery getter, that's for sure. For groceries you need a Volvo wagon, for weekend road trips you want the Aston Martin DB9 (as seen in Casino Royale.)
The next is also from Top Gear, specifically the episode where they took a Ford Transit Van around the Nurburgring in Germany. For those that don't know the Transit, it is the top selling light commercial vehicle in Europe with over 5 million sold since 1965.
I love the European look. Imagine it painted a warm gray, with some sort of cool logo on the side. Something to do with a chisel maybe. Another advantage is that it has enough flat cargo space to carry 4x8 sheets of plywood between the wheel wells. Perfect vehicle for a furniture design shop....
But then if the modern Transit is perfect, how much better would it be to have a restored classic:
A vehicle like that really says something about a company, it screams out a certain sensibility, a certain thoughtfulness about the blending of traditional and modern design.I expect Gustav to get on board with this. They don't just hand out Aston Martins, so I'll need to rake in the dough in any future furniture endeavours.

I think the vintage model would be fabulous with a hammer and chisel type logo on the side.
Count me in as on board.
it reminds me of what the old school milk man used to drive, when he would leave milk, butter and bread on the doorstep at 4 in the morning (not that i was around during the time that was common).
