That's quite the combination. Wine, baby sippy cup, and avocado! LOL

Thank you for your comments everyone. We have really enjoyed using the bus this year!

I recently found a photo of my first VW. It was a 1970 Devon tin top in beige. I bought it around 1992 after a trip to Newquey which happened to be at the same time as RTTS which got me hooked on early bays.
It cost me £1000 and I drove it all round the country, in 1996 my wife (then new girlfriend) and I did a four week trip to France, I loved that rusty bus like crazy!
We decided to go to Australia after that and sold the bus to help fund it.

I don't think it's about anymore, possibly hidden away but most likely parted or scrapped

I've got loads of good memories just wish I had more photos!

Cor blimey almost a year between updates!

This summer has seen more camping fun... Not much work carried out on the bus, just enjoying it...apart from a bamboo shelf




A few nice camping spots around Sussex






Hanging out with the locals




Had a bit of engine trouble... Luckily help was on hand




And handing out with the in-laws

After much deliberation over the last year I gave in and got myself a narrowed beam fitted. I've wanted the bus to go down at the front a bit for ages and I love a bit of tuck. Graham at MEB fitted a complete French Slammer beam and spindles. Now I've got the look I've wanted and the ride is superb! Very pleased 8)




The family holiday to Brittany was the perfect test to try the new front end out with the bus loaded up for a two week holiday. Jeremy (bananacustard) came too with his clan.

Queuing for the ferry to St Malo




Camping at Cap Frehel






Outdoor living






And a nice site near St Malo in the grounds of a run down chateaux



Thanks for looking. Cheers. Andrew.
