Büssing
Büssing AG was a German bus and truck manufacturer, established in 1903 by Heinrich Büssing (1843–1929) in Braunschweig. It quickly evolved to one of the largest European producers, whose utility vehicles with the Brunswick Lion emblem were widely distributed, especially from the 1930s onwards. The company was taken over by MAN AG in 1971.
Heinrich Büssing
At the age of 60, the inventor and businessman Heinrich Büssing together with his two sons founded the Heinrich-Büssing-Spezialfabrik für Motorwagen und Motoromnibusse. Büssing, the son of a blacksmith dynasty at Nordsteimke (in present-day Wolfsburg), had studied engineering at the Collegium Carolinum in Braunschweig and had founded several bicycle, engineering and railway signal works with varying degress of success. His first truck was a 2-ton payload machine powered by a 2-cylinder gasoline engine and featuring worm drive. That successful design was later built under license by other companies in Germany, Austria, Hungary and by Straker-Squire in England.

Puppy Song
by: Kenny LogginsDreams are nothing more than wishes
And a wish's just a dream, wish to come true
If only I could have a puppy, I'd call myself so very lucky
Just to have some company to share a cup of tea with me
I'd take my puppy everywhere, la, la, la, la I wouldn't care
Then we'll stay away from crowds with signs that say no dogs allowed
Oh we, I know he'd never bite me, we, I know he'd never bite me
If only I could have a friend who sticks with me until the end
And walk along beside the sea to share a bit of moon with me
I'd take my friend most everywhere, la, la, la, la I wouldn't care
And we'll stay away from crowds with signs that say no friends allowed
Oh we, we'd be so happy to be, we, we'd be so happy to be together
But dreams are nothing more than wishes
And a wish's just a dream, you wish to come true
Dreams are nothing more than wishes
(Your wish will come true)
And a wish's just a dream
(Your wish will come true)
Your wish to come true
(Your wish will come true)
Your wish will come true
Your wish will come true
Your wish will come true
Dreams are nothing more than wishes
(Your wish will come true)
And a wish's just a dream
(Your wish will come true)
Your wish to come true
(Your wish will come true)
