Hi All, New to the forum and to Bay life. This post is a bit bitter sweet. My wife and I have taken ownership of a 1974 VW Bay High Top, Some of you will know her as Clarissa which has been owned and very much loved for the last 5/6 years by my father-in-law Colin (moortarn on the forum). Unfortunately Colin sadly passed away at the beginning of June. We just couldn't let her leave the family and after very little deliberation we have taken her on to love and cherish for many years to come. We need a bit of time to get her running right again, get used to her quirks and then we will be out and about at events. We are very much looking forward to meeting everyone and would love to exchange stories we have about Colin . Ben and Beccy
Welcome aboard. Glad to hear you kept the van, I'm sure he would be chuffed to know you're out and about in it.
Hi Ben and Beccy - Welcome from West Lancashire . So sorry to hear of the passing of Colin but glad that you are keeping his memory alive .
Well thank you for the very warm welcome. We are off camping in Clarissa on 4th August (unfortunately not to Tatton) If anyone locally is out and about up the lakes, please feel free to get in touch if you fancy meeting up somewhere.
Welcome to the forum Ben and Beccy. Sorry to hear of Colin passing away but nice to hear you are taking up the reigns of his bus. Enjoy
Hello and welcome from Sheffield Very sorry to hear about Colin. Fab that you’re keeping the van on the road and in the family. He would be happy with that
Sorry to hear about Colin.....if you need any help getting to know how things are with the van I will always try to help...I live just round the corner on the coast road.. give me a shout.
So sorry to hear about Colin, welcome to the forum, take no notice of the mad ones on here they are harmless, there's one who thinks Barnsley is always sunny, just humour him we do
