Hello from me

Discussion in 'Introduce Yourselves' started by edd1e1, Sep 27, 2012.

  1. Thought I'd properly say hello to everyone :)

    We've owned Percy for nearly 2 weeks now, an early 73 rhd westfalia continental, auto with 2.0l Vege engine. Beautiful to drive and seems very sturdy inside with all the original Westy interior (in pretty good shape seeing is its his 40th next year!).

    Sumatra green body with pastel white roof, front opening pop top, and sporting several flower stickers on the lower body work.

    Previous owners didn't have a name for him so we've settled on Percy in memory of my late Grandpa who kindly left us a little bit of money which helped us buy our first VW camper (his initials were PRC). After driving him a lot for almost a couple of weeks, Percy feels just right :)

    Needs a bit of tlc here and there but we are so proud to finally have our first van. Have hired and borrowed them in the past but nothing quite beats the pride of driving down the road in our own one.

    Anyway...will maybe see some of you around on the south coast, and hopefully will get chance to catch up with some of you at Brighton Breeze in just over a weeks time.
