Just back from our K 70-meeting in Gent/Belgium (where I'd been with my Vauxhall Vectra, as the evening before I've noticed, that the K 70-battery is gone). Of course I had always the interests for other IMCDb-ists in my mind 
So at first two pics for eLMeR:
It's the biggest bus company in my wider area (one bus is even visible in a IMCDb-saved movie-scene)
and annother non-Eastern bus:
Recently we talked about that: one of the very ver last 1975-K 70 cobbled, with export-parts as the regular ones weren't available in the plant any more. So these caps (black ones covering the indicator-hole of the "made for I/N,DK/J-wing", chromated ones for covering the "Swedish bumper" (with the headlamp washer).
The car is interesting insofar, as it's the one and only known, which was officially exported after November 1974:
The rings around the headlights are grey, because the original V2A-steel ones ran out, too. So they took painted plastic rings...
Annother very very last example (produced at Steyr-Magna in Graz/Austria after the production in the Hannover-plant of VW already ran out:
Seen today noon in Oudenaarde:
where we had a classic Belgian-style lunch:
O.k., not really original Belgian: I cannot stand the fruit-beer. And calories-reduction is healthier anyways.
Somwhow I thought about a specific IMCDb-member while noticing this motif:
At an used car dealer outside Gent:
P.S.Nearby the motorway around Antwerpen I passed two importers of US-cars. Surpringingly many new Dodge Ram were on their yard. Didn't know, that they are that popular in Belgium.
in Gent:
When I asked the driver, if the 236.000 km are original, he told me, that this T5 Transporter belonged in its first life to the leasing-vehicle-fleet of the German Army. Very typical for the Bundeswehr, that it is a real low-spec version. A K 70-fellow, who works at a VW-dealership, told me, that major customers as taxi-companies and authorities can order these special downgraded versions. So this 2010 VW T5 has manual window-lifters, no interior-claddngs in the back and no air-condition.
