Have been trawling the internet for months but finally decided the only way was to see them in the flesh so to speak. We hired an Autotrail Apache 634 for a week, toured most of southern England and finally found what we were looking for (we hope). An Autotrail Apache 634! Two weeks to wait before collection - can't wait.

Only 12 days to go now. Another few days then it will be sleepless exciting nights. Will be great you will have it in time for Xmas. Bet you go off somewhere during the festive period.. I know I would.
Wish you many years of fun and happy travels.
Remember to keep it drained down in the frost, read the threads. :)

What do you mean another few days before sleepless nights, they've already started although I'm not sure how long before we collect it roughly somewhere around 225.25333 hours I think and we are already trying to decide where to go over the festive period :xgrin:

:rolleyes:Can i join the Norfolk club,i don't live there but i want to.........does that count?

I thought that Yorkshire was supposed to be God's own country, why do you want to move to Norfolk then, you have obviously been deluding yourselves all these years.
PS, you have to have lived here for at least 40 years before you are even nearly classed as Norfolk!

Welcome from Mid-Suffolk.

Can us Suffolk 'oiks' join your Norfolk Sub Club?

Hope you enjoy your new toy @Broadsman. We were once 'tuggers' too and have never looked back.

Don't know about that, is your passport up to date, we would have to supply you with today's password to get through the defensive perimeter.

Passport is up to date but you would have to write the password down as I probably wouldn't be able to decipher the 'Narfuk' accent. :xshout:

An accent purposely cultivated to keep the Oik's out!

After what seems that longest two weeks ever - our early xmas present has been collected from Newark and brought safely across all borders. Now the fun can begin:xgrin:

That is once we have sorted out an annoying rattle from the fly screen magnetic strip on the door frame which developed halfway along the A47 and been to a local Fiat dealer to get a 'dashboard bleed' fixed!!!!

Don't envy you the wait - two weeks was long enough for us

Hooray for you!

Get a funster sticker from Jim (when he gets home!) so we can recognise you on the A47/A11/A12 etc.

happy travelling from Pamela and Derek - also in the Norfolk Sub Club.:xdoh:

If you are on the A47 close to the huge hotel at the Wisbech roundabout look out for "Effy the Apache" parked on the front of the pink house!
