There is no other information on the superb OldieCaravan.de (http://www.oldiecaravan.de/) site than the article below.

If it is a speech bubble he probably hasn't got much to say fighting for his breath (probably why it's so small) Could be a thought bubble (planning his wifes next trip - her final one)!!. I think its the exhaust pipe for the diminutive size motor.
