1st MOT since 2017… I’ve had it since last September. Passed with no advisories! Hard work paid off.

My only two pics of Stonor were not at Stonor

My friends yellowish 71 and my Westy.

Yellow bus up for sale for £13,500 totally solid Cali import. Never used

Weekend camping with the family. The more I use this bus the more I love it. It couldn’t be more perfect.

 

[milfredo]

It does fall apart beneath you but nothing too major.

Fuchs are two a penny in the vw world but I never see any vw’s around here so they’re unique enough for me. The Cosmics were tired and one was dented so needed to be replaced.

Met my mate at the pub earlier and he just sent me this

Glastonbury - showers, flushing toilets and backstage bar access. Oh, and 240v hook-up spot in secure camping. Nice!

So… van has been off the road since my suspension has been suspect but the weather was too nice so I risked a 30 minute drive and did a night in the van.

The continental bed was just as good as it looks (if I do say so myself).

On other news, the van is off to someone with bigger tools than me tomorrow to see if they can whack it into a better usable shape for the summer to come. Then maybe new beam and overhaul come end of autumn.

 

[milfredo]

Suspension was 'corrected' as best could be. There were a lot of issues but now it drive nicer and sits a little higher. It can be used for summer and 'cash permitting', upgrade the beam at the end of the year.
MOT passed a few weeks back:

1st family camp out this weekend:

Nice to see you using it with the family. Great memories being made there
