I'll be digging the old girl of her winter slumbers out over next couple weeks and I'll find out whether she does indeed need replacing

Andy, I'm sure she'll be fine - perhaps if you have a look at this wonder on e-bay as a possible replacement it will motivate you to undertake any necssary re-commissioning repairs..............

I'd have thought with a fibreglass camper on a fibreglass car body, following "fire damage" we'd be bidding on a pile of dust and twisted metal  :-\

Too right, although I would have thought that the volume of dust/melted plastic would be rather greater than the pile of twisted metal.......

And if that one doesn't motivate you, then perhaps the thought of this will............ failing all else, lease set the date, time and venuew, and I am sure there will be plenty of us to assist armed gas axes, engineers screwdrivers and sundry other useful restoration tools  ;D ;D

Okay then. The Commer will be unveiled in April and I will be installing the new awning too. I think we should have a little LM "warm up" at a mutually convenient campsite.  Any suggestions?
I wouldn't sit there if I were you, it's still a bit wet.

It is before April but this friday is the start of the ALC batchelor meet. We are staying in the back garden of a pub in oxfordshire and the pub accepts us as residents. There are normally 30 of us that drink, eat and sleep at the pub ;D

Sunday driving is always a bit on the dangerous side though.

The SPS trailer could have its first bath in British Spring time.....

Bognor sounds good to me. Better find a campsite. Anyone need a lift?
