bandwaggon, and jumping
Is it a good thing, I dont know. If they are loved and appreciated than good on whoever buy's one.
Ive had many, perhaps 10 or 11 since the 70's when we used to be able to pick them up for under £200 for a mint condition one.
We had one that we paid £25 for and then took it to france the week after. It did two weeks up and down mountains, parked in posh places, then lived with us until it died two years later.
I used the one I have now, every day for two years until it was taken off the road in November,mainly [because the paintwork was looking a bit grotty and I was rather shown up.] But last winter it went when nothing else moved. I passed everything including 4 wheel drives, in the worst of the snow and ice.
I had to have some welding done on the sills pre last m.o.t, but other than that its in pretty good shape. Im getting it a new paint job in feb, so will be as good as new.
Bit of useless info...Ive got horses, and the 4 can carry 8 bales of hay,
5 inside 4 on the roof rack.
Its been rather good fun watching people's faces as we pass by loaded up, and it seems the police would rather turn a blind eye than pull us over.
