But Did You See The Troll?

This entire van was an amazing thing to see (and we saw later that such customization is not unique on Vancouver Island), but the "figurehead" on the front was truly... special.

My wife had had a collection of such "trolls" as a girl, including one with a mechanic's overalls which she gave to her father, who was an airplane pilot and mechanic. My daughter currently has a collection as well, which was augmented by a suitcase full of the critters given her by my wife's sister; altogether my daughter probably has thirty of them. So, here is a little tribute to the home team.
