Wahaaayyyy - made it to page 10!!! You still reading Matt??  ;)

It's been an education - and all we get over here are $250,000 Prevost RV's - all marble worktops, double a/c's and auxillary power units.
The Ecosse transporter was hilarious.

I'm impressed by your collective lunacy and bizarre vehicle finding ability, you frickin' nutters.

Great!!! (Where are all these beauties kept and how come we never see any on the road?).

But have you noticed what lurks in the background behind Tweety?????  ;D

Yes, this is a very interesting early Model. Mine is a PB1500, this one is a PA1500, you can tell because it does not have the trademark lozenge shaped grille, it is rather more sqare in aspect. And the handbrake worked on the back wheels not the front. Also the wiper switch and fan switch are an inch to the right on the dash. Thank God I'm not an anorak. ;)

It is also looks as if it's about to f**k Tweety up the arse.  :o :o  I would expect no less from any all male, red bloodied Commer.
I wouldn't sit there if I were you, it's still a bit wet.

I'm reminded of the Putley Creach Land Yacht, as featured in The Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers

This unit comes with a 3 burner hob, oven, fridge, h.w. heater,
blown-air furnace, air conditioning, awning, flush toilet, shower, hot water, fresh water tank, waste tank, water pump, drivers door, passenger door, rear entry door, a ride as nice as a motor car and great visibility through large windows, and the rear door.

Other standard features included a folding entry step, front wheel drive for better road handling during high winds, and better traction in snow.
Powersteering, power brakes, made driving ease even better.

So, pretty thin on all those luxury accessories in that wild,wild west then...........  ;) ;D

Steve Brown - Good work fella!
MGMark - Why are you looking at a website called 'old woodies'? I'm very worried about that. It's not right.

Matt - I wasn't looking for it deliberately - honest - I just typed "car camper conversion" into google to see what else I could find and there they were under the images tab - they really were just too good to miss, particularly the Model T with the mobile home on the back - all you need with that is a trailer to put the pool in and you too can be the envy of all on MB, as you sup your gin sling on the patio as the sun goes down !!!!

I particularly like the windscreen arrangement on the Model T - most impressive!!

Yes I'm still here and not down the pub! It's gone 9pm and I'm still graftin' away with the occasional dip into this lark when a mail comes in telling me there's another comment on the "badger post"!

Good to find another Freak Bros fan Steve!!  I'll have to dig out my collection (and bong) for a trip down memory lane...!  ;D
