Yes your right, i am lost for where or what to do next
the brand new Trooper i ordered last november is still being built
and they still cant give me a date
so i told them to stick it where the sun dont shine
I've got the deposit back and the money is burning a hole in me pocket
do i get a buggie a syncro a doka....... till i get a new van from God knows where!!!!!
I will have to wait till after christmass for any new van
so i thought i would buy a fun vehicle to tide me over and then sell it on when I do get me new one.
I'm/we are running out of summer very quickly..and I'v only got me scooter.not much fun camping with that hahah

Why don't you buy a camper off a forecourt?

(I appreciate that I may be missing the point here)

Surely you'll get more that way anyway?

Why not get one of these?

If i could find one with////

T5 volkswagen LWB white with the matching bumpers and mirrors
front elevating roof with bed for 2 adults
automatic triptonic
174 hp
ali wheels
air conditioning
cruise control
parking sensors front and rear
pull out awning/blind [matching]

furniture layout down one side with double bed
porta pottie box [matching]
hot water
twin batteries

A bit like this only LWB and front lift up roof




I would buy it

Ooooooh.........surely everyone needs one of these. Absolutely no idea what it is, but it sounds expensive and gadgety.......

it means i can change gear faster than a fast thing

Nah, that's DSG - tiptronic just puts stupid flappy paddles on the steering column and allows you to move the gearshift across into a mode where you decide when to change gear, rather than the (no offence, Terry) rather intelligent computer deciding when to change.

IMO the tiptronic functionality on any gearbox without either sequential shifting and/or an electro-hydraulic clutch pack instead of a torque-converter is a bloody waste of time.

It's scarily modern, and brings many more worries to mind about non-T25's being new-fangled and alien........

I dunno what Thomas just said
but i still want one I think

Terry how does lhd suit ? You could get a nice westysyncro from germany, enjoy it and sell it on when you get your new thing and not loose much if anything, I'll happily go fetch for you. Mike Plompen could probably source it too, though you'd have to tell him you want it tidy

Thought it had to be automatic Terry ?

no darling the new one has to be auto for nada to drive me home on a sunday night
cos Im getting old and I tend to fall asleep at the wheel on the way home from a weekend away
Now that could be very bad for your health
