Now that you are all friends again, can someone please tell me why nobody waves to me PLEASE. I have stopped waving now cos I feel silly and NO, Pusser. I do not do it with two fingers like you said.

Not stealing a thread, just that the waving, friendly thing is something so many of you on this thread go on about..... and personally, I just LOVE VW vans - small or not - it takes me back to the good old days in the sixties when rocking vans meant something to me...

hello again ive just reread my first post
and i really think i,ve been taken out of context
and i.m amazed at the negative response i,ve recieved
so if you see me around you have two choices
punch me on the nose if i offended you
or buy me a beer

i,ll not making such a generalistion again
i know you are all really down to earth people
and we have all come accross those who think they are better
and if not you are the lucky ones

but i,ll just put my encounter with a ???? down to experience
life is too short

happy days and merry nights
to you all

What an interesting thread for anyone studying sociology!

We started off with a £600 Commor Autosleeper in 1969- similar to the one in the National Motor Museum at Beaulieu-mega bucks of money then!

I have progressed over the passage of time to owning many motorhomes along the way. My late husband and I working in jobs with very unsocial hours but we neither drank or smoked so we were able, with a struggle I might add to purchase these. My latest one was purchased with the help of compensation for injuries received in two RTAs and VAT exemption as I am a wheelchair user.

I have a personalised number plate starting with a P registration so no longer can anyone judge the age of my RV from its registration number. I think this is the way forward for we MHF members. Rules out any snobbery that may exist!

Unless I've missed something we still don't know exactly what was said or done to tinsom to cause him to start the thread...I mean "rant".

Oh- forget I said that- I don't really want to know Rolling Eyes

IT WAS NEVER A RANT

every one has missed the point i was trying to make

it was to do with a negative comment about motor home hire

and the fact that there a small minority of owners

that think they are better than some others

surely i,m not the only person that has come accross this

now seems some of you have taken it as a personal attack

about you

and your chioce of van

and how you got it and how you got there and from basic begiinings

etc etc

I HAD A BAD EXPERIENCE AND
AND I,VE OBVIOSLY DRAWN WRONG CONCLUSIONS

just to clarify this is what happened to me
i had a auto trail cherokee
when i bought it it was two years old
and i lived in it full time
after a prolonged stay in spain working as a driver about three years ago
i was rear ended on m1 by tipper truck

to my way to do some shows
and attend some rallys

now damage was qiute severe and i made as best as i could with repair
but i was living in this van

some owners were sorry about my plight
but on seven occasions at rallys with autotrail and mcc
i was asked to move my van from other vans
because it made their vans look bad
and it took nearly 11 months for damage to get repaired
so i had to tolerate people looking down on me
cos it was a mess
and i felt bad enough as it was

now i could have found a alley to park down so i would not be seen
but why should i hide away

comment on that if you want

i still have photos to prove
