"Now Let's See You"?

[brunoffrance]

hi the community;

Our Airstream owners community is very great , instructive in advices , adresses, experiences... to share so what a great frustation not really know what 's the apparence, the face of your correspondant , hidden behind a code or a surname; mine is Brunoffrance ( Bruno From FRANCE ... ).
I'm sure I'ld not meet you on roads, because I live and I'm from FRANCE, so you, even you are American, you're in the same situation as me... Put your face picture in this forum.
I really 'd like to put a face on your forum replies; it's more fun to know your correspondant instead of a code name or a number;
i began the face profil by mine; see the picture...

Well noted and seen the threads , thank you, 74argosy24MH, so not many owners' face pictures;
My goal was and is to know how you are, how is your face, not to know your " curriculum Vitae ";
You certainly know what I mean .

Bruno.

Hi Bruno:

I can't figure out how to put a picture in here.

I'll be in France the last week of April. We will be touring the Normandy Beaches.

Hi all:

Tried the "browse" but the pic was too big. But we do have a pic of us on our Yahoo profile pic. Yahoo name is dellpent2000
Im gonna have to learn how to make our pc pics smaller.

[brunoffrance]

No great success with this thread ...

Hey Bruno!
I suppose that if we had faces as nice as your family we would be more apt to show them.

What I want to see more of is those yellow chairs in the picture you posted above.Any chance you could snap a couple of views of them?
that is of course if they are nearby.

Did the folks that promised to send you the license plates from over here ever do so? And what's on your jukebox? 10 favorites say.

By the way for Christmas someone gave me a device called a "Lampe Berger". It is a flameless alcohol lamp with a catalytic ring at the top of the wick. It consumes a scented alcohol (many choices available). Pretty effective device for scenting the house. Decorative pottery base holds probaly 8 ounces of fuel.
Pretty pricey over here, minimum of about $50.00. Made in Paris (France I presume). Are these common in France and if so what would the price range be? I had never seen such over here before.

Bruno,

Don't take it too hard, I think there was a thread started already which had pics of forum members on it.

Keep up with your posts, it is great to have you on board!!

Hi Bruno, here I am - at my last marathon in October 2002 in Venice, Italy. A little bit tired at the end of a 42,2 kilometer trip ... but

Hi Hex;

Thank you for the compliment about my falilly, so the goal is not to expose them but to show what is the look of an European Airstream owner, a bit crazy to import himself this jewel in FRANCE.

No news about the promised licenses plates.

The juke box is an 1958 AMI I200 and I try to play records from this date or 60's oldies; My favorites are Ray Charles, Elvis, Franck Sinatra, Chuck berry... and some '70 as Donovan, Linda Ronstad, Mungo Jerry ....

Your Chrismas present " Lampe BERGER " is really the "must " and the best system to perfume your house; They are from FRANCE and cost a lot (first price $80 and up ); They are made since a long time and their reputation are great as they are collectible.
the alcool refill is expensive too; See mine in picture ( at less 50 years old , and come from my grand mother ) and made in " emaux de longwy "; great value...

Bruno,
Do you make your own furnature? I'm refering to the crankshaft t.v. holder. Just a great idea. I also like the pink fridge and colors of the dining set - very "50's diner"! How are you going to dress up the Airstream - any ideas?
Marc

[brunoffrance]

Hi marc;
Yes , the crankshaft is my idea when I saw it in a garage. it comes from an industrial vacuum cleaner engine an all parts are from there. Just screww a solid plate on the rolling and the TV can be rotated. So the weight is heavy...

I' m a bit fond of American '50, 60 furniture diner; Mine come from ... USA. The European dealer has his web site; have a look on it , it's great and well made

I am restauring my Airstream as soon as i 've free time; Now it's the floor with "acajou " stratified wood ; I ve decided to put it in breadthwise instead of lengthwise.
Then interior 'll be in African safari style; My wife has found giraffe skin material to cover sofa, make curtains...

I'll post pictures when it'll be ready, so i've to finish the floor...

[Pahaska]

I envy you that beautiful floor.

I keep changing my mind between putting down wood such as Pergo or putting down cork tiles. After seeing what you have done, I may go with wood laid crossways like you have done.

I had not considered laying wood crossways, but it is very attractive and I would have a lot less waste of material doing it that way.

[Hans]

Laying wood crossways is also very common in homes and houses here in Vienna. Since it gives this "truly home"-feeling I also plan it for my Sovereign in the middleterm future. But I also will put one or two smaller carpets on this wooden floor.

[brunoffrance]

Just to tell you than my new floor is not really all made with wood; be carrefull, this one is an imitation and it was what i want .
At home, I've on floor massive wood and it's a bit fragile with water, nails on shoes, women heels, chairs... and the wood move with the temperatures and humidity.
No Problems with this imitation, 15 years warranty , looks like natural wood , can support water ( some ) , very resistant and easy to install . All the the advantages and low price...

Only two things are missing ... the wood smell and the crack when you walk on it.

Airstream makes smaller carpets that look pretty good.

I just received this jpg from my daughter, an art teacher in Highland Park, Texas (Dallas). As a representation of myself, there are two items which vary from reality. First, she has made me out to be actually better looking than I am (I sometimes frighten small children). Second, a true to life picture would have shown my feet sticking out from underneath, or on my hands and knees working somewhere inside, but never merely standing nearby.

But I had to share her talent with someone who might understand.

Media - egg tempera on board. Original size - 10" X 8".

Hey Hans, I notice your time on the clock 3:38. That is very good; is it metric time?

Bruno, your floor is beautiful.
