Thought you guys might like to see how those that can't afford a Barth have to suffer though life. I do like the way he tows the toad though. But as Bill N.Y. points out "a two seater for a family of three could be a problem. We were thinking of trading but decided to keep "ugly Betty"

Yeah, but just think of the advantage he enjoys with that extra set of wheels amidships if he gets high-centered while off-roading. Don't you think you could go for that?

Actually, I considered this one, but the SLK was red, and I prefer white, so I took a pass on it...Big Grin

Look at the outside sytling. It's not too hard to imagine some of these style lines in a 2008 Barth, if there was such a thing.

Shouldn't Mary Ray and Jack be posting here? "Not everyone can afford a Barth," but a fortunate few own TWO! Cool

I'm thinking of setting up a 'Barth Village' and then taking it on the road. With the 30,000 gvwr on Barth2, I'll be able to tow Barth1 6 down for the tour. Any one know if a standard 18,000# baseplate is available for a John Deere Chassis.

Or, we could just designate both places as "Never Ending Rally" points and give them their very own rally pins on the map Big Grin

And the amazing part is that all of this is accomplished on a retiree's income of less than 27,000 per year. Kinda gets me when you hear all this whining about not enough money to do what I want.

Pretty much the same here Mary Ray, but even more frugal.

This will be in the same "yankee yard" with my Reatta, and Fiero's

Bill what about those pins that slant in the other direction.

The pins aren't important - it's that, between the two of you, you could start your own rally and never leave the yard... Big Grin

Go back and check out the pictures. No way the interior pictured matches the exterior - primarily the windows: small and high on the exterior, huge on the interior; windshield wipers confirm. (Not that it matters, of course) Let's remember this when we decide to sell on E-Bay: post a lavish interior from a 40' with our P-30 exterior.
"Can't figure out the brand, but the interior looks like a Newell."
That's a European (or Brit?) Show -check out the overhead signage- and no Uhmericuun, esp a model, would be caught on camera wearing bellbottoms.
