Well hello there!!

Discussion in 'Introduce Yourselves' started by scottsykes, Jun 9, 2015.

  1. I thought I would take the time to introduce myself properly, I'm Scott, I am 39 from sunny Bournemouth. This is my first bay window and I genuinely love it, her name is Marigold and she's 43 years old now and looking very good for her age. I travelled to Nottingham last week to collect her and she drove home with no issues. She has been maintained very well, a new engine and gearbox was fitted only 5000 miles ago, the body is good with only a few minor blemishes that I will attend to in time.
    I have bought a set of EMPI's and I was going to lower her but I am in two minds, it drives very well and looks lovely, my friends tell me to leave her as she is, I may just add the alloys. I have added retro spotlights and changed the front indictors, the interior has been recovered and looks great, it has a cooker and 110 hook up with a leisure battery, a rock and roll bed and pop top. It came with a drive away awning and a sun canopy and luggage rack, I have ordered new orange curtains and will replace the floor coverings.
    I have had a few T4's, I was umming and arrrring whether to buy a T5 but to be honest I have truly fallen for Marigold.... roll on summer!!!

    I hope you guys like her as much as I do...
