what new thing have you learnt about your bay this week...

[Trikky2]

I have learnt that a lot of people dont read their owners handbook (re dash dimmer and how to close the sliding door) :lol:

If you dont have one thats no excuse - they are scanned into TheSamba here

so you can save and print them. Great thread BTW.

Getting this close to a fuel truck to take a picture of my bus pisses the hell out of a truck driver :shock:

You've got another 6 feet to go yet :wink:

Learnt that despite my whittling about a rather unknown engine that the 250 mile round trip to VW Festival at 60mph was a breeze and the more you cane it the better it goes! At least for now... I love my bus more & more each time I get behind the wheel!

 

[Tiki-Al]

i've learned that you should never try and dismantle your awning in 70mph winds as it will bend and tear into a mass of metal and material....

Also... always check the tyre pressure that your garage puts into your new tyres otherwise you will drive onto a sopping wet field with 60psi in them :shock: and need towing out

and kipping in the camper on a beach sounds like fun but those pesky 70mph winds will wake you up with a bang! and the barrier you could fit under before may be slightly lower on the way out :roll:

Our first week away in cornwall was still frickin awesome!

Ouch ! Blown sand?

Good tip - I will watch out for that.

Glad to hear you had a good time

my bus seems cavernous! packed up for hols in cornwall and it still looks empty! its amazing where you can hide stuff when you need to!

 

[Rikki James]

That it still cost's me money even when it's stood on Axil stands
What's that all about!! :|

I ve realised that even in the rain, driving my bus makes me smile!

WOW this picture has just shot me back to my childhood - looks like a clip from "CHiPs" -( p.s. second season out on DVD in September - can't wait!) back on topic..................

 

[Joval]

I loved CHiPs, I think it's partly responsible for my VW obsession. :mrgreen:

I'v learnt, when camping at Dubs at the beach don't run to the porta loo when the rain is coming straight at you ,cause you slip right on your arse,you slide about 8 foot,your right leg gets stuck under the porta loo, the dude who is holding the door open for you looks down burst in to a hysterical lafin fit and runs off to tell all his mates .

 

[hipshaker]

:shock: that is definitely a frank spencer moment!!! :lol:

how did you get out from under the loo?

i saw a guy get tossed about while taking a constitutional in a porta-loo by about 8 of his mates. They tossed it onto its door so he was trapped, i could hear him barfing but didnt wait around to see him come out!

 

[Jim Drake]

Hello hipshaker yes it's me. I might be ok spinning a few records but olympic bog surfing is not my best skill
cheers Jim
