Rise of the T5 !!

yes, i'm affraid it's a sure thing if i do coachbuilt it won't be vw, pointless as you have a massive price increase for the name.

 

I just hope Bern isn't exiled to the top field at TE if he turns up in it

 

I think I'll turn up in a T2

That just proves that he bought a bad bay.

Scooby bays are a good compromise but can't match coach built for size or act as a daily I conclude.

 

Right you lot, this is "the late bay". Having a bay is a social thing. I barely know anyone who doesn't have one. Abandon if you like but kiss goodbye to meeting loads of random diverse new people. The choice is yours.

 

I'm still going to be a random bay owner

 

Exactly, you guys are some of those lovely random diverse people I would not have met.

 

What's a random bay?

 

You're another.
50ft trad stern (more interior space) perfect length IMO.

 

true, i doubt you lot would have spoken to me in a caravan or in the 5 if i hadn't had the bay in the middle, silly really 'cos i'm no different... funny how a bay makes you talk to people.

 

Who said that

 

and you. You are correct. To be fair I met a pretty diverse bunch of people racing sailing dinghies, but it's not such a social thing.

 

strange really how an old camper draws people, i had old landrovers and although many others were similar we'd only hang out together to do the odd course or meet at a show, socialising wasn't really done much - the camper part helps lots. I'm glad i met many good mates through the bay.

 

Since 21st of July I have been travelling the country on a long holiday. Me and the GF are amazed at how many T5's/T6's are about in campervan form. Every road, beach front, campsite and holiday location we went to, we saw them, loads of them.

I like them but they are far to common for me now. Although I have been very tempted, mainly because of the reliability and modern comforts.

 

is it like when t2's were around the 10 year old mark i wonder? cheap enough for the masses so loads about?

 

No. I don't think there were ever loads about, they were expensive new for us brits.
