I know you didn't specify it Jim. But I thought this thread was meant to include an image of a campervan/motorhome. with/without people.
Anyway, here's my contribution.View attachment 991873

Ah, a lovely Autosleeper with a pop top, shame they stopped doing the pop tops like that as they were great.

This is an old one of me probably from about 1978 ish. I think it was a boxing trip to Germany I am the awkward looking one on the right.

I am sad to say that both of the lads next to me are no longer with us

I did a stint in 3 Field Workshops as a pack rat. Loved both the L and K 60’s

Just found another one with our tent.

Nice Bullet sidecar. My late father had one identical alongside his Vincent Blackshadow, what a combination.

 

[TheTwoOfUs]

It's a Steib S501.

Always fancied a combo but never plucked up enough courage in case my mates saw me.

A very young Mr daveclare about to start his first scooter race 40 years ago.

Then his first race at Cadwell Park.

A little bit faster 20 years later, still at Cadwell.

A few more later ones, some meets too from when fun, really was fun.



Our first MH we went everywhere in it. Always overloaded,. Got it 2005, just happy to have one. Was a better build than any of our much more expensive ones.

Nikki and I in about 1992 off to a fancy dress party or we always dressed like that.

The haganaps at the Americana

Me Terry And Silkcut1105 , camperjam.. probably the best meet ever we done (nearly)

The girls at camperjam
pinkgin mitzimad Armytwowheels Kathy, Nikki and Carol.

And where it all started for our Newfie journey. This was George at the Lincoln show circa 2008/9 on one of the first fun rallies, we parked next to a funster (long gone) who had a newfie pup. They got on so well we decided it would be good for us to get one.

Just found another one from the mid 70's. Did a course on hyperbaric medicine at the North Sea Medical Centre in Great Yarmouth . You can just about see me stuck behind a load of hairy ar$ed divers and a few other rig medics, it was so long ago, I can't remember a single name.

This was on a dropzone 33 years ago. Siân, sunbathing was just getting back in to skydiving a few months after the birth of our eldest daughter; who is in the picture under two umbrellas to keep out the Florida sun. Our motorhome was an old converted school bus.

Here is the oldest photo I have of me at just 16 I don't think a photo of me younger than this exists, If it does, I've never seen it.

Just goes to show Jim, like many of us, you're twice the man you once was!

 

[Jim]

Love this one of my tiny mum, she's only 18 years older than me, think I must have been around 21 or 22 then.

 

[Jim]

You'll need to be an older member or be able to read to recognise this chap. This was taken in 2009
