When I bought this house, the next-door neighbours had two motor-homes. One was blue, Transit sized and parked on the drive and the and the other was an orange Transit parked on the road.
The blue one hadn't moved for so long it had a healthy crop of bindweed all around the wheels. The orange one never moved for over 2 years, but the owner went out every few months, did lots of tinkering under the bonnet and started it up.
One year (1995, I think), they actually went away in it for a week. Nine months later, Mrs Next-Door had a third child, so that one was known as the Fertility Symbol.
About 1997, we went away for a week, came back and the blue one had gone, its place in the drive taken by the orange Transit. The Transit never moved again, became a bindweed host like the blue one and eventually went away on the back of a lorry.
The Next-Doors also have a rather pretty yellow 1974 MGB in their garage that hasn't been out of the garage since I moved in in February 1993.
