Le Mans veteran retires

[Lorry]

After 12 trips its started to fall apart - the wood rots, so reincarnation as a 3 bike trailer bekons

[Lorry]

To be replaced by another one.  Stuff tents I'm too old for that cr@p

[Bob U]

Lorry, if Smokie can ditch his caravan and rely on a tent I am sure you can. Where's your sense of adventure?

[Lorry]

Where's your sense of adventure?

In the booze section of Carrefour!

Anyway, I've put 4 carloads of gear into the 'van today (including the tent and two sets of fairy lights)  I'd need a far larger car, and I can't find a tent with its own cocktail cabinet

Blimey lorry you are getting organised early for LM2006! 

[Lorry]

There's only 6 months to go you know!  The ferrys booked, the tickets ordered so the serious work has to start now, and it starts on the 16th by the look of things.

[DelBoy]

I'm with you  on that, Lorry.

Another two reasons for taking the 'van.



                                                                         AND

[garystout]

I like the dog brush and air freshener in the loo, but hey, looks like a nice bit of van 

[Lorry]

The tin of air freshener's a bit of a giveaway isn't it?  (But no queues in the morning there) and real bedding.

And the full English should be a doddle now.  There's 3 saucepans and 5 frying pans in the bottom

[Lorry]

Mind you the colour of the carpets enough to make you honk

[DelBoy]

I don't have the luxury of a full-blown cooker, (its a continental 'van), but sufficient gas rings and a microwave is all I need.



The van is 5.6m long (body) and 2.5m wide - that extra width makes a BIG difference.  Also took a little while to get used to the bedroom being at the front.

[Steve Pyro]

I'm rather proud of my cooking and toilet facilities too!

[DelBoy]

That's about all you can get in the Cobra, Steve

   Plus this Del.

[Lorry]

Which tool would you recommend for constipation, not that this has ever been a problem - the reverse usually - I blame the Pistachios.

God, for next year, I'm going to have the old porta Potti too, and a bucket, and the KKOC pissoire AND the Maison Blanche portaloo.  What luxury.  Anybody caught p!$$!ing down the back of the caravan will be castrated with blunt boltcutters, unlike last year.
