Looking great must be well happy now.

did you make the graphics yourself? if so what do you use to do them

Yep - I designed them myself and they're on 7 year outdoor vinyl - had good friend (thanx Mick) cut them out for me.

Onwards & upwards earthlingz!!!!

Today my father pooped over ageen and finished off all the wiring for trailer + car (mucho thanko for that. )

On advice from Mick, I cut & ground out all my welding and redesigned, cut, grinded, blood, sweat, swore, thumped, and welded new tow hook etc. It's the absolute DOG's Doobries now - well happy and impressed with myself!!!


So this evening with much anticipation - did final checks, connected up or hitched or whatever it's called, started engine, reversed out of the drive and carefully at first, drove down the lane.

Did 4 miles including a roundabout and we are still alive!!!!!! No knocks, bitz dropping off - NUFFIN' - Result.



We're on our way!!!!!!

I'm taking some leads with me - thanx.

Some on ebay who lives near Newport/Telford, Shropshire has been giving me the runaround with a new 4 foot mattress I bought.
Guaranteed delivery on Thursday - zero!!!!! I've had 2 replies last week to emails - then nothing. I've been polite but now I'm p*ssed because it was going in trailer.
Someone else who purchase same @ same time has had no luck either - what a bummer.

Soundz a lot but when you start putting some of the heavy gear (Amplifier, mixer, cables etc.) in the trailer boot - you've still loadza room inside for gantry and smaller items. There's only going to be duvet, pillows and make-shift mattress there. Need to have the right balance for tow hook.

I had heavy-duty piano hinges specially made for my f/glass doors. You'd really be struggling with mini doors with glass in - far too heavy!!!!!

There is one site I've seen that does real gull-wing doors but you're talking mega-bucks!!!!!!!!

10 days and no update? Hows it going?

10 days and no update? Hows it going?

No update because I've been on the BH2NRetro run with the trailer.

Although not totally finished yet, it was able to make it to Germany and back fully loaded with my bedding + a full laser/disco show inside. Too comfortable for its own good sleepwise and driving it was ultra stable up to 80mph on the German roads. The long wheelbase meant it stuck to the road like uberglue - well satisfied with result.

I will be carrying on with bitz und peesez including refurbing the inside after a few dayz rest - meanwhile pix of The B*tches together, enjoy!

At Brands Hatch



At hotel in Belgium



At the famous Nurburgring



Gallions of peepz took pickies of it and even 2 gendarmes in France smiled - so it CAN be done, its now up to someone else to improve on it - any takers???????

Thanx for the offer mate - but it's not for sale. The point I'm making is, I'm sure somebody could make a better one themselves.
