Visited my brother and his family today. He and his wife are heading up to Queensland, planning to stay for a week in their Renault Trafic van that's been converted to a basic camper with bed, storage, microwave oven, toaster and kettle. There are also rolled-up awnings on the rear and passenger side.
He's come up with a storage rack and ramp so he can carry his 1982 Vespa on the back.
The photo was taken with an iPhone 17e in RAW format with the Halide app, then exported from Photos on the MacBook Air. Then I opened it in Pixelmator Pro and applied the Super resolution setting. This increased the file size from 18 MB to 54 MB. I then severely cropped the image to get the attached pic.
@variablepulserate I turned my car off, then went to lock it and couldn't find the key fob. Tried Find My on the iPhone to locate the attached AirTag, it gave a quiet series of beeps.
