Hah! Love it!  ;D

Don't know if it ever made it to Canada or the states, but there was a real TV show called Eurotrash in the 1990s: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eurotrash_(TV_series)
"I have described nothing but what I saw myself, or learned from others" - Thucydides

"I've jazzed mine up a bit" - Spike Milligan

That's great! I love the little Michelin man.

So these guys work and hour or two a day (they probably only have room for 4-6 bins of trash) then take the rest of the day off?

I would expect they'd be really picky about the type of garbage they'd pick up "Ve are very zorry, but zees "garbage" ees not of sufficient calibre for us to take, try zose low class types over at "Meester Cans". Feh!"

I love anything Kombi (former '76 Bay owner :) ) ..... those are just right & hit the spot, Alvis ;D .....

Can we have some info on the kits used ?? I presume the 1/24th Hasegawa splitty & Monogram (?) Garbage truck on V.W. beach-buggy chassis ?

This one really made my day, Alvis!

The details are fantastic, right down to the snooty look on that Van-Dyke wearing fellow.

Do you suppose he's snooty because all three of them have to squeeze into that cab?

Another genius masterpiece!

Pretty much, it's the Hasegawa Pickup VW with the Monogram Garbage Truck garbage unit attached. I shortened the VW and the garbage unit dropped right in place, like it was made to!

That's hilarious (not to mention the cleanest garbage truck I've ever seen) and as a bonus, I've had Cracker's "Eurotrash Girl" stuck in my head since I saw this earlier today. ;D

Never heard of the show but sounds like something I'd enjoy.

An electroclash band called Chicks on Speed had a song called Euro Trash Girl that I love and immediately thought of...

@ Litvyak: Yep, looks like we had the same song in mind, although different versions!  :icon_music:

Interesting, I'd never heard that before! It's not bad, though I have to say I do prefer Chicks on Speed's version! :)
