I would even have gone as far as to say F'ugly.It says Alpha on the front but not really sure what it is apart from ugly,
Car garage on 12t IVECO, he is even closer to us now, I thought he just wanted to cuddle up but it was to get his satellite dish tuned in.
I would have waved if I had seen a UK plate.
I got my voltmeter and the 3v battery was less than 0.5v I had a spare so put that in and all OK, I wouldn’t take money for the battery so they have me 12 bottles of Leffe, would have cost him less if I had taken his eyes out and said a fiver 
12 bottles of Leffe.Got chatting with the Belgian couple next door with the RMB and he said he was having trouble with the alarm fob, bought a new battery but still didn’t work
That’s the sort of payment I’d be ok with 
I didn’t like to tell him I was Gluten intolerant so drank Gluten free beer, I might make an exception though.12 bottles of Leffe.
Well your meet isn’t to far into the future Martin
You and me both Steve.12 bottles of Leffe.
I didn't know that Martin, having offered you a beer umpteen times before. 
It's a recent thing Jock, Gluten and lactose and a few other things to a lesser degree, I do stray now and again though and it doesn't kill me, life would be easier if I hadn't had the testYou and me both Steve.
Cheers,
Jock.
At the rate I drink beer there should be a few left for you and JockWell your meet isn’t to far into the future Martin
You might have ended up blowing his van up though Steve, as I think you are about as good as me on electrical stuff12 bottles of Leffe.
It’s the very fact that you took the trouble mate, it’s called Karma, what goes around, comes around, I’m a great believer in ‘if I can help, I will’ , good for youGot chatting with the Belgian couple next door with the RMB and he said he was having trouble with the alarm fob, bought a new battery but still didn’t work
And talking of batteries, got any spare lithiums? mine are a bit low
I‘ve driven trucks with Telma Retarders and they really are the business.Hi Jon
Glad you enjoyed it, as you know I can get a bit "nerdy" over these techy bits but as long as people enjoy it I will keep doing it (actually I might even carry on if they don't).
Yes the chassis bits and the elevated cab is what sets these vans apart from some of the competition and to be fair is part of the reason they are the price they are, on the line they had one van up in the air and we could walk underneath

Here you go then, the big round thing with Telma written on it is a Telma

The Telma is a brilliant bit of kit and I am really pleased that I spent a small fortune ordering it
Of course you are right about N+B Jon as they have nothing that currently matched the Clou like you have and they most likely never will again, they are now in a slightly different market to MORELO and Concorde but again they are busy and expanding, PhoeniX have a new building since we were last there and they might have been doing tours I am not sure but what they were showing outside looked even more dated than I remembered but quality build all the same.
Vario will do you a 1 on 1 tour but you need to pretend you can afford one like Paul CazPaul did, mind you he might have got the idea from me
Palace with glass sides and glass windows all round (extra weight) newer than ours as it has the later locker doors with the concealed hinges.This is parked across from us in Rothenburg, I expect he was at the Morelo do
Handy on heavy motorhomes when your coming down from the Picos too
Obviously not driven ours without (I suppose I could switch it off) but I bet it’s a different thing all together with the gearbox doing it’s thing for engine braking and the motor revving it’s nut off together with the brakes trying their hardest to stop 7t, nah money well spent just don’t ask me how much it was.Handy on heavy motorhomes when your coming down from the Picos too
Yes he did mention that the glass was quite heavy! He’s just had a Thule veloslide bike rack installed, looks pretty good
Good bit of kit but a bit overkill for me, or maybe just too much cash for my Yorkshire tendencies.Yes he did mention that the glass was quite heavy! He’s just had a Thule veloslide bike rack installed, looks pretty good
Yep, auto with brakes or you can do it manually with floor pedal
Not even Gluten free so if I have a hangover I will blame the gluten.
