Our Old Faithful

The previous owner called it Mabel and although we aren't in the habit of naming our vehicles its sort of stuck.Anyway, here she is in all her glory, if you see us on the road give us a toot

Thanks, she's been a bit out of sorts this year, new head gasket, new clutch, had to get a new exhaust because it blew as we were coming into Fort William last week but shes as good as ever now. Heres to many more years yet!!

I can tell you have a lot of affection for Mabel and I think you get quite attatched to them.

I wonder how many members shed a tear when they have to part with their beloved campers.
After all they carry a gret deal of memories.

Thanks guys, no it isnt amphibious lol though it might have been useful in the weather we had. Thank goodness for goretex or I would have had rising damp. Yes I do love Mabel, she's cosy and usually reliable and you can hang a lot of stuff on her :juggle:. I must admit I do gaze wistfully at Hymers when I see them but not in front of Mabel

Your van is your home on the road, when you get rid of one it's like moving home or selling your house, especially if you've used the van lots.
