hi, welcome, nice bus - what's the modified wbx ?

Pete and Sharon (PC52) are in Corby not far from Northampton, and Si toomanytoys is based not far away in Licolnshire so there will be places to go, things to do.

If you fancy some Welsh scenery and gearbox tinkering you are welcome here anytime

There's a coincidence for you! We bought our blue syncro not that far away from Bielefeld.

Yeah, we're local, in the middle of a doka rebuild atm, you're welcome anytime.

New vans are great but they just ain't got no soul!

Can't remember the city exactly, but the journey home was made in 3rd gear, a number of years ago now though.

Paderborn - nice beer, discovered that when we were at Mammut Park for the 25 years.
