Yup!

Meet Tillie!

Off to fetch her tomorrow from Arundel - First milestone will be getting her home!

If successful, joining a few at the weekend in Notts for an overnighter in her

And no, won't be giving up the tents, she is perfect with the bells. I just hate setting up the bloody kitchens so got a portable one!

Stacks and stacks of pics here!

'Tis lovely!

You'll be able to personalise her and make her unique amongst campervans!

By the way, I think I missed my vocation: in future, just call me 'Sherlock'!

Well she is home

Must admit crapped it a bit, but she was ok for 166 miles

My hands are like blocks of ice (not too sure about the heating)

I think I was probably driving along with just a sidelight on (not sure which button it was)

The brakes!???? what brakes!  And then you even have to pull out blummin levers for a hand brake

And managed to stick the accelerator pedal about 20 mile from home (hadn't a clue and had visions of new clutch etc) but is ok with a bit of wd40 now

Not planning to do anything 'clever' with her tbh, because she is so tidy it would be a shame to start painting bloody great daisies on her (give it a few months when the rust starts coming through)

but, I love her!

Someone hung out their car on the way home and did that to me?!

I thought they were just being abusive cos I was holding them up!

This is the camping under canvas section, perhaps we should start a new thread in the right section as this is all about campervans now?

Cheers Ratty
