While visiting I noticed several ambulance to kite van conversions. The owner I talked to had never heard of it called an "ambuhlam". Someone did a remix with ambuhlam in it

Whitey always messes up tho as they posted it as "amber lamps". WTF? Its ambuhlam.

Just putting in on the record but the next person to get an "amber lamps" to drive around as a kite vehicle deserves the biggest slap in the face.

There is an ambulance sitting in Scappoose opposite the middle school for sale right now; or at least it was there a week ago.

Why a slap in the face Ian??? They are a solid kite/surf/whatever conversion idea. They are wired to the hilt for alternative power conversion options with tons of built in storage. They are cheap as hell with usually low, well maintained, miles and if you search hard enough you can find a diesel.

Someday when you're older hauling around gear, XXXL t-shirts, wife and kids...you'll get it bruddha.

Ian: Don't be a hater. Your chat on the forum today is like the turd I took this morning; Big and Airy with no substance or denisty and of course it still smelled. I'll take my slap on my right face cheek and I'll probably slap back. What Sella said is right on the money about the vechicles and probably half of the fun is pimping out the ride.

I was thinking about getting an old van/camper for kiting but, now I feel I need to check with the culture police. Where do you get applications to register a vehicle with inept-fun and his posse of fashion guards?
I mainly just want to conform to the required norms so I can avoid face slappage! Any help would be appreciated.

This amberlamps conversion is pretty sick. He did a 4x4 conversion and tapered out the back end. looks like a pretty bad ass machine.

Not enough amber lamps, however. Needs more cowbell too, probably.

Despite all the stupidity and hating, don't take this that way. Take this with a smile.

It's not "amber lamps" it's "am-buh-lam".
ha ha

I'm not making this up. I was in the hospital overnight and I wake up to hearing a woman across the hall responding to the nurse that "the ambuhlam gonna take me home, the ambuhlam gonna take me home" and the nurse kept asking if someone could come pick her up. And then I passed back out.

That is an awesome kitemobile!

Below is our SPI fun bus. Works great for holding all of our gear, two dogs, a cooler, tunes, and has room for 8 or 9 of us to do a downwinder and get everyone's gear in it. Recyled it from a church group out of San Antonio.
