another bit added notek blackout light bought on ebay the other day, it was a relic from falaise gap had to make new upstand and baseplate and it had i lot of rust holes , but wellworth 99p on ebay bargain.

here you go ,and will fit in the garage.

Hat off to you it looks excellent, well done.

I for one don't care that its built on the chassis of something else, it is a brilliant peice of work and a credit to you, and just like the swimmer it is a superb addition to the mv scene .take a bow...

The axis section of the clubhouse carpark will have to be extended though...

then the swimmer can come out of the pond!

well thanks bodge deep ,yes and we cant forget mark uk for that fantastic scwimmer perhaps we will meet one day at a show and get some good photos to post.

Amasing and a true work of art.

Hey guys, did teh first Official event today, my old primary school, that I left in 1968.:nut: There were about a dozen local and visiting vehicles. We stopped about 300 yards from the school hidden away, and could still here the kids cheering. They had no idea the vehicles were coming till we drove in. We all got mobbed, mind you handing out sweeties was part of the reason. The event made BBC local radio and the BBC Spotlight TV.

a quick picture but full report being saved for Pathfinder. am staying on a very MV friendly camp site, called Bleu Soloiel, (Got to put name in or Dave the owner will make life a misery) Hot tub, swimming pool wi-fi bae restraunt, so in paradise fuel at £1.08 per litre!

Various parish events tommorow followed by full parade on Sunday.
