I could try and buy another compartment (£26) if we have another 4 who want to ride. As far as I can see they are only selling tickets for compartments not individuals.

Potential photography pilgrimage? The Capri is still there, but I don't think the Samba was last time I drove past (2 weeks ago). The Capri is a local landmark alone though ha ha MrDuke 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davidfowler2000 Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 I too also am prepared. The trailer lives at my parents' so I'm getting everything* ready tonight so I can take the car to work tomorrow and then go to theirs straight after. Stay the night and on Friday morning everything is there and set, good to go. New water container for the trailer... This one has a bung for the pump wire and hose to reduce spillage. Also new cooler... Old cool box was good but this one is betterer. Same power draw, MUCH more efficient and goes much colder. Mostly because it's actually a 12V compressor fridge rather than just a leccy cool box. Should run the full weekend off the leisure battery provided @Talbotdoesn't completely drain it using my inverter for AC charging duties. Currently mostly full of adult beverages. Skwerr sosij to be added before being traipsed to the car. LightBulbFun, chaseracer, twosmoke300 and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave_Q Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 Those 12v compressor fridges are awesome compared to an old fashioned coolbox, we've got one branded Frifer of all things but it stays mega cool on almost no juice. Cord Fourteener 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talbot Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 Bring it along. I'll bring an barbecue and it can be used by anyone who wants/needs it.

fatharris Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 Super excited for this, spent a couple of hours planning the route that we're taking to capture as many decent driving/scenic roads as possible as soon as we breach Wales. Planning to capture Elan Valley, Naty y Moch and Pen Y Pass on the way up. We've even got walkie-talkies so we can do convoying right twosmoke300, Lacquer Peel, Sunny Jim and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnthonyG Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 As usual, Autoshite’s resident librarian has some car books and magazines to dispose of, I’ve had a bit of a clear out! Mags will be free (apart from 1970s Cars & Car conversions, which will be 50p each), and some of the books. I’ll stick up a list of the books later on, staying with my folks on the Herefordshire/Brecon borders tonight. catsinthewelder, chaseracer and Lacquer Peel 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
