An added benefit is that it will go a long way towards answering all
those "what the heck's in there" questions every time you stop.


An attention-grabbing trailer I last saw at a Junior Nationals a few
years ago gave the best answer to that question.

Imported from Germany, it had a giant pair of bright green, red-mouthed,
white-toothed crocodiles painted the length of the trailer under the
sign "HOFFMAN RENNKROKODILEN" which my schoolboy German translates as
"HOFFMAN'S RACING CROCODILES".

It also shows the SSA is on the right track. Nobody who's seen the
'crocodile trailer' has ever forgotten it.

Guy here in AUS (1km away) Dieter Horstman imported his Mosquito to AUS from Germany must be 25 years ago with same drawing and "HORSTMAN RACING CROCODILES" - It sure had people talking and seeing it IM
