Van life - calling it a day

[winks]

Hmm. The left hooker up for sale near us is beginning to sound more attractive by the day… auction ends in 6 days, who knows …

Well I drive a lefty in uk with no problems apart from the odd obtuse angled junction, but I trust the Boss to be my second set of eyes. When I get to 73 , barring lightning strikes, we will likely go to a smaller van than the 8m Hobby but I'll miss it.

Cheers

I hadn't noticed it was an auction, you need to go see it well before it ends and see if you can grab it before it goes higher.

Previous MH was LHD, and as winks stated, no issues driving within UK, apart from certain junctions where the passenger eyes were required. I’d go back to LHD again if required.

I don't mind LHD I had a few yanks in my younger days, but although I have no problems driving a truck, I cannot drive an A class and I admire anyone who can, I just feel so detached from what's going on.

I’m the same I took an A class for a test drive once and it felt like I was trying to steer from the back seats I’m only 4’ 11” and a half

Not sure you can do that if it already has bids on it can you?

The seller can do what they like it's their property so they just remove it from sale as and when they like, stupid to put it on auction anyway as they have to pay a commission on the final value, I think there is a limit but not sure how much, I stupidly used auctions at first them wised up and did classified, much cheaper.


Also in an eBay auction you are restricted in what contact details you can use, no addresses or phone numbers usually, classified no problem as they have already been paid.

I thought ending an auction early when there was bids on was against the rules Kev. I would be pretty miffed off if I was bidding on something and it disappeared early.

never had a problem with LHD till i drove my merc 308 to the algarve and my daughter had the same model but LHD . my poor little brain had a bit of trouble .everything was normal but different ,i'd reach for the gears and get the window winder

 

[andromeda]

Strangely have no desire to go in van abroad. I'd travel now if I had the cash but think I'd rather do it another way

You referring to your type of women back then, wearing them handy knickers, a few yanks and they’re off!!!

We have a saying in Liverpool if someone’s a bit of a psycho
She’s a bit of a left hand drive … why you ask, well she ain’t right

Paul says it about me all the time

Yes, it's amazing how many people 'lose' cars before the end of auction.

 

[Tezza33]

I enjoyed it anyway.

I even gave you a lick.

The rumours are right then
