MOBY GOES TO TURKEY. A tam and pups adventure. (5 Viewers)

[Northernraider]

Currently in asda carpark having lunch after my first UK supermarket shop since getting back. I'm starting my diet again from now as I'd like to lose a couple of stone again before I head off for the winter. Between last winter trip then my mums illness last year my weight soared and then increased yet again over my recent trip. Its something I think I'll always battle with but if I get a bit off again before winter it will help a bit

Dogs will be glad as they like the dog food I get from asda better than the stuff we get while in Europe.

I was trying to replenish my paracetamol and ibuprofen stocks too but the buggers would only let me buy 2 packs of each so I'm gonna have to just buy a couple of packs each week when I'm back. I like to keep a good supply just incase I get any ailments when travelling

 

[Northernraider]

I do it regularly. It is only a single step version though; it’d be a bigger challenge on those with two steps.

I think my current van is so high because my step is right at the rear of the van . The n&b is different. But I only put the step out if the dogs are going in and out otherwise I just climb in

 

[funflair]

On this thread Tams electric step failed - his A class has a cab door- try getting in or out of the Concorde without a working step.....

I can climb into ours no bother and same height as Concorde, if I just want get something out at home when the step is up I don’t bother putting it out, re one door we have had this layout for 12 years and never worried about it, a drivers door wouldn’t really work on A class with one level floor anyway.

The discussion about doors/one/two/drivers/which side seems to be split between those that do not have only one door, who say its inconvenient/dangerous and those that have only one door who say it is workable.

Draw your own conclusions.

Note to self: I must look to see how many I have.

As always thanks again for you hospitality and help . And I've said it before I'm always happy to help out with jobs you need help with. Make use of my youth and strength while I'm there. Still think we should have done another tip run this morning with those bricks but you are a terrible hoarder

I bet he is the sort of bloke that has "a nice box in the loft that will come in handy!!" Probably had it since 1970!!

If you buy from the Pharmacy rather than off the shelf you can buy the bigger packs Northernraider Tam.

What if the wind blew it away.

It would probably land on the back of his neck.

And those that have had A class with cab and without cab door and think it doesn’t make an apath of difference.

I have A class with cab door, but I’m LHD so it’s really handy, that said if I could stretch to a bigger liner type with just the hab door, it wouldn’t bother me at all

 

[nabsim]

Don’t know how anyone manages with less than 2 cab and one hab door

 

[CaptainPaul]

Old school & cool

 

[Gina M]

It's getting some admiring looks or are the men gazing at you Paul

 

[Northernraider]

Both my frankia and hymer were rhd with left hand cab door so I very rarely used them . The euramobil had driver and passenger doors which was handy , again mostly for refuelling as that's one of the few times I go out the van without the dogs. The mobilvetta is lhd with left hand door so I do use it . And I'll use the one on the n&b because it's there . If it wasn't I can't say it would matter much

126 bis, cute wee descendant of the fiat 500 . I really liked its big brother the fiat 127 , or the 128 saloon

 

[CaptainPaul]

Fiat 126 or as we used to call them in Ireland the Fiat Lunchbox

 

[Northernraider]

Well we're now parked up in a woodland for the night near Newton abbot just south west of Exeter... about 2 hours away from Just smiffy lots of mountain bikers around. Few wee woodland walks so we will do that in morning before trundling doon tae Redruth.

 

[Northernraider]

With the price of some A Class there is not enough money left for extras like two cab doors.

I am surprised they fit those 'extras' to C Class

If you get to a chemist you can get 2 boxes of 36 sometimes 3 if you ask the pharmacist.

Do you pay yearly for the P4N app?

 

[Barclaybasher]

If you get to a chemist you can get 2 boxes of 36 sometimes 3 if you ask the pharmacist.

But much more expensive....

Yes asda is 39p for 16 paracetamol, 45p for 16 ibuprofen. Not sure how much the pharmacy is .

I get hay-fever tablets in asda too 30 days for £2

According to my 2004 brochure the drivers door was £535 as an option
. The sat nav package was £3400 and the reverse camera a further £555 . Sat nav will be useless now but the camera works through that.

The camera works but you will have to send the film to truprint.

I think I pay 79p for 32 at my chemist. I use generic hayfever tabs cetrezine which are £1.75 for 30 or if on special offer £1.25. I'm not allowed ibuprofen so have no idea of cost
