[VAC] Re: Genuine Ralph Lauren designed Airstreams



I'm not sure what problem this posting made for Joy, but I was pleased
as hell to get the pictures and the connection.  Perhaps my computer or
browser was more able to handle the way the information was presented
and the listing of the underlined address would have been a better way
of sending the information. 
I'm sure solution to the problem with the submission will be another
lesson for us all in how we present something to the list so it don't
scramble our friends programs.  

 I hate it when something screws up my computer or corrupts my browser,
and I am in sympathy with Joy's predicament; but I am excited by the
"utility/surplus" airstream shown -- it is closer to what I've been
thinking Airstream should be making today than the "dumb down to the
lowest bland denominator of taste" designs they've been putting out
lately. This is what I've been preaching made manifest in stainless,
aluminum, wood and laminates.  Should be able to replicate those designs
at normal airstream prices.  Really want to step inside and check them
out for myself, in person.

 I'm not easily impressed, by other designer's work. These are way
cooler than the all formica version for Wilsonart. (I understand the use
of the sponsor's product understandably heavily informed that design,
and I'm not knocking it). Am pretty sure Ralph Lauren was also very free
with the funds for this project.
