Right, here goes.

I'm a complete novice at this game, albeit it's been a dream/ambition of mine for about 20 years to own a Motorhome.

Hopefully tomorrow (Wednesday 29 May 2019) I'll picking up my first MH. It's a 04 plate Fiat Ducato, Sea Dinghy 3, 4 berth with only 33k on the clock.

I'm an 'old school' Skinhead so love my Reggae, Ska, Rocksetady, Bluebeat, Lovers Rock, Roots, Dub etc as well as Rock, Metal, Glam, most anything really except for mass produced pop rubbish.

Married with one daughter, who got married last year so the fact that I can afford to buy my dinner let alone a Motorhome is quite staggering:D2:D2.

I live well north of the border but have worked and stayed all over from Shetland to Oban.

My hobbies are Fishing, Photography, Golf and I play a bit of guitar (bass mainly but dabble with 6/12 string too).

I really do not have much of a clue as to what to expect nor do I fully understand all the technicalities of operating a Motorhome so there's no doubt I'll be asking a load of stupid questions but I'm keen to learn.

Cheers for now and looking forward to getting involved and of course taking to the roads.

Cheers!! I still have a full head of hair, which is nae bad for an auld git but just choose to keep it cropped tight.

Never really got totally into the 80's Two Tone thing but do like some of it and saw Madness at Montrose a couple of years ago. I'm more of the original era (late 60's early 70's, got my forst DM's in 70/70 ish).

There's still a wee shop there on the Trongate, Dee and Co, probably the same one. I visit it every time I go to Glasgow and have done for years(y).

Yes that's it, I'll have to pop in for old times sake next time I'm in Glasgow.
