@reb Maybe you can answer my question re pronunciation of Cupar, Mrs Spart reckons it's 'cooper', but she's not a local!

[Christine 8,580]

What about Trottiscliffe  in Kent  ?  

 

Try Trozley !! 

[reb 3,002]

It is indeed pronounced Cooper, I can't possibly imagine any other way of pronouncing it!

KooPar?

[spartacus 3,465]

@richardmorris, that was my thought, I have it a try with a crap Scottish accent and couldn't convince myself!

Only if you're a 'leading light' in the am dram.

Good story this, I've enjoyed reading it.

I saw you on the M90 headed north yesterday as we were coming back from Loch Ness - is that a Devon camper - there was one for sale up here recently and I thought that was it didn’t realise it was you!

I could have made you an insulting offer for the Sunny and you could have dropped it off !

[spartacus 3,465]

Yeah! That was us, it is a Devon, not the one for sale up there though. I'd have probably accepted an insulating offer on the Sunny.

What were you driving, anything noticeable?

Nah a modern XC90 with a caravan and bikes on the roof - hardly unusual on that road yesterday!!

 

I was semi tempted with the Devon it was strong money but very clean - looks like a great layout inside

[spartacus 3,465]

If it was there same layout as mine it'll have had a dining area/double bed at the back and two singles at the front. Then a w/c shower in the centre o/s with the kitchen opposite. We always leave the rear bed made up and eat at the front. My climbing mates sometimes sneer a little at the bathroom because of the space it takes up, but they're happy enough to use it when necessary!

It wasn't cheap but then there aren't many of that size that can sleep four and have a bathroom, both of which I really wanted. In an ideal world I'd convert a van myself but I just haven't got the time.

[seacow 169]

That sounds like the same layout - agree I would favour the bathroom and found it a good layout which was the interest.  Wouldn’t want to replace the caravan but fancy a day van and something to go places you cant get the van - just a short term itch to scratch!  In my youth if you told me I would tow a caravan and have bikes on the roof I would have laughed in your face!

We got home and gave ita quick slosh off, before and after pics, with bonus of Mrs Spart.

A couple of spots from our journey, the Escort was in Tesco filling station in Cupar, it made me think of Hendry.:-/

Nice Mexican Beetle, I've not seen one in cream before, doesn't look too pineappled up. 

[SiC 18,202]

Nice! I love the Webasto and the one regret that mine doesn't have one. 

What's the plan? Going to bring it back to its original colour?
