I know we wanted to.......... but now it has happened...... taken a deposit on our "Rapido"...

After over 48 yrs on and off that`s it... :crying1: Couple of week`s and it will be gone.. All over finished ....

Hope the new owners will have as much enjoyment out of the Mo.Home as we have...

I think I have even persuaded them to join our happy bunch..(y)

Not really Bro....

Paul does not enjoy it now.... so it just makes hard work for us keeping him occupied... and takes the fun out of it..

Judy is expecting to have both hands done over the next few months, so that will put paid to her driving and being able to do a lot of things for many months..

But at the end of the day.... hopefully she will be able to knock up my concrete and hump bricks for me again...

Cos I am finding it very hard and stressful... :giggler:

I have an idea what you are going through Mo. It will be the first time in over 30 years I will be without a van once my fiver is gone this weekend. Have been frantically trying to find something to replace it with even though the next 12 months are planned using long term apartments. I even went to deepest Wales last night to view another van, knowing I wont use it for at least another year. Old habits die hard.

48 years wow I didn't realise you bought your first motorhome and joke book at the same time :)

Hope everything works out for the 3 of you and if I'm ever down your way I'll pop round.

Read your own words mo. "On and Off". Who know what you'll get up to now you've run out of buildings to rebuild. As another joker put it "rumours of my death are greatly exaggerated". And, not a lot of people know this, he wrote most of your jokes.

Still got your trike. You could have a coffee meet Sunday morning at yours.
You can always buy another van when you're ready.
Just a break :) Sir Mo xx
