We didn’t expect this! (NEC 2025)

[Wizz]

Just taken a look at your new van.
It looks great !
Having seen a few of your past travels, this new van looks like it'll be absolutely perfect for you both.
I'm sure it will really enhance your future travels to locations far and wide.
I shall look forward to seeing it with some dirt on the wheels.....
Enjoy !

Congratulations on your beautiful van. Looking forward to reading all about your adventures.

On a pottery theme…”Keith “ from the great pottery throw down. Cos it’s just brilliant, the best thing you’ve ever done! (Hoping you’ve watched it to get the reference )

Keith is probably my favourite, although Rog is still wanting Meissen to keep the pottery theme more directly.

Did you know that Keith Brymer-Jones makes those ceramics with words stamped on? We discovered it last night, and than dug out our cream and gravy jugs to find they had his name on the bottom!

. However, on the tracks In Morocco it will get a lot further than you think is possible.

I want to upgrade our compressor because it’s hopefully going to get more use. I noticed that you were recently in the sand and saying that you’ve been using your compressor which one do you have and would you recommend it?

Also, same question for recovery boards…

Love our Euramobil. The build quality is excellent in comparison with what I've seen with some of the more sought after brands.
Best wishes for some exciting journeys ahead.

Rog is still wanting Meissen

Every time I read that word I hear Derbyshire folks saying ‘mesen’ as in ‘me/myself’ (not I).

Excellent. I like the idea of a rufty tufty van called Keith. Rather like calling your tiger Darren.

Surely as it's meant to be tougher it should be Pyrex!

 

[G-RMPS]

Good idea, thanks.

Wow, brilliant. You may call it/him Keith.

Happy travelling… Keith

Abgs and anyone else who’s interested - I’ve set up a social group for 4WD camping, where we can discuss kit, camping spots etc etc.

Sadly not. That’s the only colour available.

No worries, you can get it resprayed in Morocco when you get the seat covers

You mean, when we bash it into a tree stump

If you are sticking with a pottery theme of the new van how about Tesco Basics! Great looking van by the way.

No, that would be Armitage Shanks for a proper pottery theme.

I was chatting to German Carthago owner two days ago who had his van resprayed in Morocco a couple of years ago. He had been quoted €12k by his local (Bremen) dealer for the job...had a first rate job done in Africa for 600eu....(six hundred, not a typo)

 

[Tonks]

Ooooh! That van is delicious! I climbed in and had a good poke around. It was nice to see something which looked a bit different in the interior. It’s very stylish. I really liked the bathroom, and there were storage nooks and cubbies all over the place. I bet you can hardly wait to take delivery of yours!

 

[Carpmart]

Continuing the van name suggestions and with a roughty tuffty van like that in mind, I’m formally nominating Stein - the toughest piece of German pottery I know!

 

[The Coops]

If there's just one would it be,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Einstein? I'll get me coat !

That has to be the winner.

Einstein is a close second.

Shanks is rather nicely ironic, too!

Nice van. Give my best wishes to your brother. You are right, spend it while you can enjoy it Jane you never know what's around the corner.

I thought that too but forgot to say it!

Jane And Rog hows your leg these days? Back to full hiking?

Jane And Rog hows your leg these days? Back to full hiking?

Yes, had an x-ray towards the end of last year and the bone has healed, thank goodness!

 

[Smudger55]

Lovely van. We were there Thursday no wonder we couldn't get to look at it, you were both hogging the van

We nearly made a decision on a new van but couldn't quite be brave enough to do so. Good on you both. Enjoy.

The toughest piece of 'pottery', due to all the bratwursts they eat, surely has to be Klosett or Lokus!
