I've not touched any of that lot yet! - I've fitted a battery and proper split charge setup under the drivers seat (robbing the split charge relay off my own van!), that took most of the morning. Tomorrow I'm going to rip that lot out and see if anything can be salvaged - I really don't want to reuse anything, but equally I don't want to spend hours fishing wires round the van to the interior lights etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's now called Liverpuddle Pete Best Areodrome. After the only one of the beetles who didn't leave via its runway.

Supernaut Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 Camped in a remote corner of the parents' farm for summer solstice (social distancing yo). This was taken with my phone at 10:40pm last night. I have more photos, taken with my proper camera. However my no-name SD card reader finally shat itself, so it met its end with a hammer, and I now have a proper Anker SD card reader on order.

GrumpiusMaximus Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 Have reached an agreement with my other half for us to save for a camper van. She showed me a picture of 'the sort of thing I mean'. A K-reg Talbot 2.5D. Might take us a while to get there - but I've wanted one for years and now I might be able to get one if we're careful with our Pennies... Today has been a good day.

cobblers Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 The old boy a few units up from mine is moving into a smaller unit and "disposing" of a load of tools and I seem to be his first port of call. This morning he's donated an 18" set of stilstons, a pipe bender and a large biscuit tin full of proper good quality crimp terminals (Early 1990s "Ampliversal" brand) and a really nice crimp tool.

Yeah, I'm still not sure how legal it was or wasn't. I wasn't at a public campsite or anything, though. I was also checking in on my vulnerable elderly parents etc. etc. etc. Totally not borrowing their tractor to take my camping equipment to the other end of the farm, then get drunk and watch the sun start to rise again at 1:30am. Nope, definitely didn't do that. stonedagain, myglaren, dome and 4 others 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, definitely didn't do that. It's still not legal to spend the night away from your primary residence, but I don't think it really matters, you're not harming anyone and the law is pretty much unenforceable now. I've camped in the carpark outside work and in my mates field, but neither are any kind of substitute for being in the proper countryside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulplom Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 I must be getting near to the 3000 mile limit on my classic insurance policy. I rang footman James to up the mileage expecting to be shafted. £60 to get it to 7000 miles. I vowed I wouldn't pay more than £100 so that's a proper result. 35 minutes on hold though.
