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.

Hi Jan
Welcome to the nut house!!
I hope you have a great stay in England but don't forget to check out the best parts of Britain
You may be able to get a side line going helping us guys translate adverts in German for vans and help import them.
Cheers Rich

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.
