You've been through this with me so I thought you'd like to know, we've put a deposit on a Renault Trafic and hopefully we'll pick it up in the next couple of days - depends when himself can get a lift over there. 

We did nearly 300 miles over the weekend looking and then another 140-odd last night to see one we couldn't get to on Sunday.  We saw some absolute rubbish in a dealer's - full of rust and bumps and all sorts - but a couple of decent private ones. 

I'll put up a photo when we've got it.

Hi Nora

Fantastic news, did you get a diesel in the end?  Before you get chance to put up a picture describe it to me because I'm not up on campers/motor homes, just know we love our vdub Billy.

I'm so happy for you, where are you planning to go in it and when?  Do you think you'll get to the gathering on the hill in Wigan at Bank Holiday weekend?

Thanks everyone.

Jayney, it's a 1700 petrol engine.  We decided that diesel was probably a bit too sluggish without turbo and there weren't many around anyway.  We did enquire about having a petrol engine converted to lpg but then worked out that we could probably do more than 8,000 miles on petrol for what it would cost!  We're picking it up on Monday because we're off this weekend in the folding camper (for the last time - sob!) then next weekend we'll go through it and get little bits of "modernising" done to it. We might get around to a weekend towards the end of September but we'll have to see how it goes.  It looks like a Dave - Terry (himself) said does it have to have a name and I said it does, because almost everyone else's has!! 

I don't think we'll be going to Wigan at Bank Holiday weekend.

Kingo - we'll definitely wave if we see you - I hope you've got your UKCS sticker somewhere prominent.  I've got one ready for the van.  We're going to be in Bala this weekend - I don't think that's south enough to be called mid Wales, is it?

Hi Nora

I hope you and Terry have had a great weekend and have many more with Dave.

Happy Motoring.
