ive crossed over to the left

[strongy]

just collected my new bus,a montana red westy 1970, totally standard so far so good driving on the left was as expected and a doddle,im used to a bit more power and being a lot lower and less breezes but other than its good.

wiper fues blew on the way home which was fun,id have been disapointed if it hadent it would have been boring in the terential rain with wipers :lol:

loads to do on the old girl,seals should be hear tomorow and will be tinkering with all those little niggly bits ready for her first strongy family show at vanjamboree in 4 days

loads of planns for her but not much this year

il start a spruce up thread in gallery tomorow once ive had a good dig around her and took some better pics

and i know its not an early bug or a pick up but..................... :roll:

Lincoln People! Just a note its classic car night at the Woodcocks in Burton Waters on the last thursday of every month. Starts at 6.30pm and runs til late. Its well attended by a wide range of cars, if its a nice night all kinds of vintage tin comes out to play but there are never that many volkswagens! Sounds like a good excuse for a meet up.
