So after being a member for 2 years +, I'm now getting round to loading up some pictures of our Razzle Dazzle (Razzle for short) :shock:.
So how did we come about Razzle, i had a beetle about 15 years ago & absolutely loved her (named BB, stood for Biddy's Beetle), got made redundant from Courage the brewery and bought my first VW. I have always loved beetles & campervans & it was a dream come true. Sadly i had to sell BB about 4 years later as i got married, bought a house & there was £1000 worth of welding work needing to be done.
My husband John has always loved classic cars & i just nurtured his love for all things VW, when I had BB. We would often talk about having a campervan but we were never in a financial position to buy one
Then I was made redundant again & had £5000 spare. So we did a bit of research & saw a nice looking bus in Camper Van & Bus & we bought Razzle as a US import from John who lives in Bristol in 2008. He is a 1970's tintop LHD westy and he has remained very original (although we're not sure about the stripes), or so we think
We have done a few bits & pieces to him; a CSP very expensive break conversion thingy & John, has a very long WISH list of things that Razzle REALLY needs :lol:
John with the help of his dad have sorted out the front panel, i.e. stripped it back & painted it (i know it was a lot more involved than that) & he is currently doing the same on the back of the van.
Razzle has taken us all camping (2 kids & 1 dog) on a lot of camping trips but due to painting work & a wedding in Tuscany, probably won't be taking us this year
So below is our little story so far...
