Tam & co the great winter escape

[Langtoftlad]

The toilet situation would make me wonder if the photos were of the same van? Very odd!

He'll soon find out...

 

[Stroppy Bird]

Its very strange ...cant see a door on the inside either.

Neither can I, which makes it look like the only access to it would be via the bench seat behind it.

The other option is, that the toilet is full and that's the reason he's selling it, cos he can't empty it.

(I'm saying this in jest, but the full loo indicator is red on the toilet/shower photo.)

That wouldn't surprise me .

Maybe for the chunky tyres?

Its not something as simple mirror image, the outside is photographed one way but the inside is reversed?
Probably talking b#ll#cks, usually do.

Are you on track to pick it up Tam, looks a nice van. Still think you only like it because it got dog material seats.

You are like a Youtuber without the passive income, you just do this stuff for 'content' for us, we do appreciate the selfless acts Tam

Hounslow is 54 miles from me, I never see anything interesting that close, they are often in .......................................................................... Scotland!
I've flown up to Scotland before to buy a car.

OMG, something wonderful is just parking up near me, pics to follow ........................

Yeah everything i want to buy is always 3/400 miles away ...it never fails , everyone of my vw campers and every motorhome ive had all came from down south. Usually cheaper down there too.

Strange I bought my tvr from near inverness

Tam, I live next to Stansted, if it helps I can pick you up and you can meet the seller at my house. This may be helpful as Stansted Airport is a real pig to stop at, and I have a secret pick up point next to the Fed-Ex offices… damn, I shouldn’t have said that…

Thanks but he's sending his dad to pick me up at airport. Don't want to complicate things further if i can avoid it .

OK, think I might have been compromised, but I made it back and here's the most unsubtle pic I've taken in a while .....

No. If you are going to go that route, do the same as the Vario, get one 3/4 done

if he picks you up from the terminal its a big charge arrange to get the bus to a carpak and meet him there

 

[daveinspain]

You have to pay to pick someone up from an airport? That´s insane!

 

[The Dudess]

This is the case now at almost every airport in the U.K., and yes, it's insane but true.

You now have to pay to drop off at Gatwick and other airports. Number plate recognition and pay online.

Person dropping off/picking up can stay up to 2 hrs, I think, free in Gatwick long stay car park. So traveller uses transit bus as mitzimad said

Ditto at Stansted & Luton (mid term there)

 

[Northernraider]

Ive only ever been to Stansted once before and the guy met me at the terminal ...cause i don't know the area well . So ive not finalised arrangements with him yet ill have to phone him again and see what his plan is as he already said it would be his dad that came to get me. But personally id rather be able to find him easily ... never a joy arriving in a strange place with a one way ticket.


Last time i did this i had to sleep on the airport floor .

In other news

Remember the fridge? Well when the new one arrived it had a wee dent in the back corner which i mentioned to the seller . He part refunded me £30 so with the original ebay discount code and the part refund it cost me £103 . Ive just sold the one i changed it with for £100 on gumtree . So that was a very good result

My new fridge with much larger freezer cost me £3 . And by the looks of it im not using that much more power to run it.
