Proof that reading topics on this forum are bad for your...sorry, MY wallet !
Having seen some of the wish lists , needs, wants, desires, and necessities of others, it got me thinking. Always a bad sign that...thinking. Anyway, it kept me awake one night so I got up at 3 am to browse the web. By 9.10 am I'd driven 90 miles to Nottingham, and by 9.30 am I'd bought a Chausson Suite Maxi, p/xing the McLouis Glen 432 for a reasonable amount.
Picked the new van up a few days later, having had one last camp in the McLouis in the snows of Wensleydale and Teesdale to bid it farewell. Had done me proud for 4 and a half years but I fancied a pokier engine.
So, now have a luxury 2 berth with full leather, bed lowers from ceiling, a decent garage, and 3 litres of Fiat diesel power with comfortmatic gearbox ... fun and easy to drive.
Just need to get out and about more ... so I think Portugal in late Feb to March is almost a definite now. Will post on that later in the hopes of finding travel companions or some Funsters to meet up with.
Cheers... MM
