Pinkie's Back (1 Viewer)

[pinkie]

Well, it's been a while, but you can't keep a good woman down!

So, sadly my lovely 'blue' hymer went to a very lovely woman, who said it has changed her life.....and she doesn't want to sell it back to me sadly! (And no, I don't give a monkey's what the purists say about it! lol)

So, I am looking at buying a new van, (well, not new, but fairly newish hopefully), and need some advice.

YES! I am going down the rental route again here in Bonnie Scotland....and yes, I know the vast majority of you will say I am mad, but I know that, verified already by my lovely g.p.!!!

So looking to spend around 30k cash.

MUST BE:

Automatic/Semi Automatic
Diesel preferred
Almost new condition
Leather upholstery preferred, (easier to stay clean).
Under 3500kg

Anyone got any suggestions please, (apart from "don't do it!" lol)

I quite liked the look of this, but it's a bit of a stretch...........Broken Link Removed

Thanks guys!

Welcome back, don't understand the "rental" reference but no matter as I don't understand a lot of things!

 

[Snowbird]

Nice to see you back girl. How did the rental idea go with the old Hymer ?.

For info, I rented my old van out once, it was a bloody disaster!

Ah thanks! Have you got your new van now?!

It takes a real 'freespirit' to go to rallies without a van! xxx

welcome back m'dear, wondered where you'd got to and how life was for you, remembered reading all about your adventures on here when you bought your last van, from holland wasn't it?

 

[Popeye]

I think the one you found would suit, sod the price haggle or stretch yourself......



failing that this might suit.........

 

[ambulancekidd]

swiftly followed by the Morocco trip!

Always the doubter! Lol . . I'm going to have to charge you lot for reading "the further asventures of....."

 

[pinkie]

Not asventures! !!!

Not sure what that is, sounds dodgy; even I won't be having them!

 

[hilldweller]

Always the doubter! Lol . ....."

Oh yes. Everything you did was impossible or plain daft and you more or less pulled it off on your own and some of it in Africa.

But be warned whenever they make XXXXXX Episode Two it never as good as the original.

PINKIE TWO - DEEPER IN POO.
