Flipping heck jongood was that you chatting away to Mrs Billym when I was sat waiting to go!!

I thought you had a Flair not a Cloud Liner

We have come to a very busy Atlantica park where we have a nice pitch for a couple of days

It's definitely not our kind of place but you have to try things once.

If you are still where you were this morning in a couple of days we will come back and say a proper hello

And now to to realise the attention and detail that they are going into they are giving it a final rub down to give it a good polishing… then they will wash the van and completely polish the van with Farécla g3 then with my autoglym polish..

I didn’t expect all of this..

And all this for £392..

I know you can’t always judge from photos but it’s looks like a cracking job they’re doing Gary

I’ll have a proper look if we meet up here in Spain or def at Drax

CaptainPaul · 2025-03-01T12:11:45+0000

Decent grub in the restaurant across the road at the swimming pool John, they do some great fish dishes, there's one blanc St Michelle which is John Dory in a creamy prawn sauce it's delicious and they let you bring your own as much booze as you like over, good pizza too
NB: presuming we're talking about the proper Atlantic park not the small one at the beach

By the way what was les tajines bleu like the other night?

We are at the massive Atlantica Park Immourane
The one that is easily mistaken for El Raco.
Thanks for the heads up about the fish restaurant but Julie won't touch fish... literally!

Wonder could I turn up in my new toy? Garry Just smiffy ? and does Lenny go to it? If so I'll have to swallow my words about all these automatic motorhomes I hate!

mackeellan · 2025-03-01T13:24:03+0000

That is a bargain Gary and best of all is that you're pleased with it. Good luck to you both

Sorry mate had no idea also. We've gone to Terre D'ocean for a couple of days of housekeeping. No front pitches free but we've got a decent view of the ocean. Not a fan of either atlanticas. May well go back to Anchor point for a couple of days early next week would be nice to put a face to the name.

Too far north for us.

Liking your auto then.

Mikey RV · 2025-03-01T14:49:40+0000

That paintwork looks great Gary and by the time they have put it all back together and polished it will shine like a new pin. And a bargain price.

Yes but technically it's a paddle shifter!

It's no secret I'm not big into automatic gearboxes especially in the cars but thankfully most have the paddle shifters but this wee Hymer might change my thinking and I'm getting old! Lol
Funny I saw Erwin Hymers had same as my new van listed on their site as a manual but when I looked at the photos it's the auto and I rang them and they said it was a printing error

but we'll see how we go with it anyway

Thought you were talking about the Malibu.

Yes but the shifter is up on the stalks behind the steering wheel where the indicators should be so I'm calling it a paddle shifter! :rofl:

Lenny HB said:

No I bought a new Hymer ML-T 570 4x4
But I'm open to offers on the Malibu

CaptainPaul · 2025-03-01T15:25:02+0000

This is her, Hyacinth the Hymer...

Lenny HB · 2025-03-01T15:26:42+0000

When you picking it up?

CaptainPaul · 2025-03-01T15:27:32+0000

When I get home from Maroc
Probably a couple of weeks time

CaptainPaul · 2025-03-01T15:33:16+0000

Anyway
