Hi Mutus,
Welcome to the fold. You will find lots of useful information, as well as lots of laughing and joking on this site..even insults thrown around quite often!..but all in good humour.
Enjoy your new 'toy' ..lets hope we soon have some decent weather so we can all enjoy ours too.
Jackie ;)
 
You swapped a tent for a motorhome, It must have been one hell of a tent or really bad motorhome, I wonder who got the best deal. :D:D:D
Welcome to the madhouse. Do you drink Whiskey by the way.:):)

Hello Eddie

Never mind the old codgers I saw you at the post office counter drawing your pension and asking about any local body repair shop after crashing into the sea wall just missing two young gentlemen.
The first image is Eddie under canvas, the 2nd & 3rd images is Eddie in the schoolboy trousers the 4th image is me and the 2 dwarfs and what about the red sunset.
:D

Hi Eddie and welcome to the site.
We followed a similar path having been tenters for 20+ years and the van is great for warmth, comfort and not having to pack and unpack the same. I still find sleeping under canvas so much more adventurous though. Call me barmy, but when away in the van, my wife and daughter sleep inside with all the modern comforts while I kip out in a one-man tent. I head indoors for a fry-up and ground coffee in the morning, but get so much more from roughing it in the tent overnight. Even in Braemar at Christmas at minus 17!! Yeh yeh, I know I need to see a specialist!
Enjoy the van. Hope you don't miss the tent too much.
Jim

Hi Eddie,
Jimmy and myself will be heading north about the middle of March Jim,s OK but his brother Don is a little upset because he swapped cars with Jim and got a ticket off a copper just finishing his shift in Doncaster for having the blue UK / Euro symbol badge on the left side of his rear number plate, the copper told him the badge would cause confusion for the cameras on the police helicopter if they were ever giving chase. Don said to him at my age of 83 they wont have to chase him very far because he wouldn't be getting into trouble ( Fighting, Rape, Pillage, Drugs or Burglary ) he told the smart arse that the car was 12 years old and had traveled over 100,000 miles on British roads and had been MOT tested over 9 years and the badge had been on since new and no other policeman or MOT test station had ever commented on it being unlawful and will you be giving me a warning he said no I am giving you a £70 on the spot fine and if you don't get it changed and I see you again I'll give you another £70 fine. What a fine way to treat a 83 year old pensioner it makes you sick.
This same copper will be petrified to confront the YOBS & DRUG PUSHERS and cause him to have to suffer the warmth of the police station to fill in a mountain of paper work its easier to nab a pensioner, I have seen thousands of these Euro badges on rear number plates so if any reader has this type of number plate make sure you can be seen by the helicopters.
L.O.T.S.W.
 
Hi Randy,
