Tam & co the great winter escape

[L' Hobo]

Look up YouTube 'Hanomag F20 Mercedes 206D (sorry I'm not clever enough to post YouTube)

Hanomag F55 also was badged Mercedes here.

I think you might be right, I'd forgotten, they too. had sloping windows.

And Ford Anglia‘s had four wheels. Citron DS, Peugeot, looks like a Lancia, Chevy trucks, love all that old stuff, just like old scrapyards.

The ocean looks gorgeous in those shipwreck photos. My dad bought a drone in the 1st lockdown and I recon he never uses it over winter so I might see if I can borrow it for our next trip especially if we end up going to Morocco.

The drone is great for some pics. Ive not used it as much this year mostly as the places i used it last year i was the same places this year. Video uses a lot of data so not done much of them .

But only way to get good pics of that wreck was by drone. Can't see much from the shore

There are apps you can compress video files with and reduce the data considerably.

Its those old cars & vans that need "compressing" Lenny.

They do ...but folk seem to just leave cars where they stopped. I kind of like it

 

[Manic]

There was an E reg (67) Reliant Regal at the campsite we’re on at the weekend, visiting, sounded really rough until they had it up on a ramp and sorted the exhaust.

 

[Northernraider]

Im in for some really shitty weather over the next few days

 

[Jays2]

That looks a bit cold, at least you have the dogs to cuddle.

Same as here, every other house has a scrap vehicle in it. If you ask to buy it they want a 1000€

Must be a bit like Cornwall then, there every rural house has a collection of rotting vehicles in the yard

 

[scousebird]

OMG Tam, we're going to have better weather here.

i remember it was like that in london late 50 early sixties think it was when the mot was started played in many old wrecks

 

[Northernraider]

Ooft its bloody cold here this morning , not bad overnight as cosy in bed with the dogs but didn't want to get up this morning. The tube that fitted the diesel heater in here put the controller away at the back of the van ..... Been out briefly with the dogs and milo quickly peed and headed straight back to the van lol. Its grey out there and windy . Not looking forward to the next week of weather ..i do hope its worth it in the longrun lol

Hmmm, wood burner in a Campervan, that should get the insurance companies interested (or not!)

Keep up ....ive had this conversation many times already lol

 

[Northernraider]

Decided to put a few hours in on the road today and 3 hours later im in Thermopylae....where i turned back last year . There was a little snow on the way through the mountains but not much but going by all the snow ploughs sitting roadside i reckon its forecast. So im now at the springs which are amazing ....so im going to have some lunch then im going in my little private pool ive secured lol . There's several campers here ... different from the spot i found last year this is far more impressive .

Ignore jade having a dump ...that girl is such an exhibitionist
