The Maiden Voyage UPDATED WITH NEW PICS

[THE LAST PANZER]

After a rough 12 months, we're finally back on the road!! "Phoenix" had his first outing, first camping for a few days in Cambridgeshire, before heading up to North Yorkshire with his friend Daphne.

Not done much to the engine since we bought him, so it was a case of "fingers crossed" when setting off. Glad to say he's done about 550 miles without so much as a hiccup - dead chuffed!

Here are some pics for you guys, firstly from Cambs:

Then off to North Yorkshire with our friend (Chill71):

Spotted this in a supermarket car park just outside Scarborough:

Only problem we encountered was a leaking front screen, but this will get sorted after a few more weekends away before the winter sets in... happy days! :mrgreen:

Cheers dude, get a spaniel we have 4 in the family and they are the best dog you can get BUT be warned they have extra high energy levels so you need to have them out on walks all the time for this reason we find them the perfect travelling dog oh and when they get in water ie a pond you can't get them out total shit magnets :evil:
