THIS week I bought

[Stretto Boy]

To go with my two FB pies ,we live like kings when we are away View attachment 198094

Blimey, I thought they stopped making those years ago! I used to love their beef risotto with some fresh crusty bread. Wish I could still get them because they would be ideal for the mh.

This afternoon I agreed in principle to buy one of these, subject to seeing and test-driving it (although I have driven an otherwise identical saloon version) because it is at another branch of the same dealer:

It’s pre-registered (registered at the end of August) with 150 miles on the clock and haggled £18000 off list, which enabled me to get the three litre 6 cylinder version
which I certainly couldn’t afford new. As it’s a diesel, I’m going to have it on PCP so BMW can keep the depreciation risk in case the World turns against diesels in the next three or four years.

It’s an estate version in black, so I may do a few funerals on the side

Bought this to be able to cook smelly things outside the van. We already have a Weber but it's a bit heavy and a pain to clean. This came today and although it's not that lovely shade of green (it's black) looks a great bit of kit for a very low price. Haven't used it yet though.

That’s exactly what we use it for.... we cook the eggs bacon and sausages on it out under the awning ...

I find that it can blow out if windy so I use the case it comes in as a wind shield.....

It heats up very well and one cylinder last a long time...

This week I bought a very expensive piece of plastic and a reasonably priced Sterling B2B charger. The plastic is fitted now, but having doubts about fitting the B2B with a EBL99 as standard.

Is that the top of the range one with indicators? Or the lower spec one without?

I come across a lot of the lower spec ones on the roads, during my travels. It's very surprising just how many lower spec models are about........................especially from "prestigious" manufacturers.

Cheers,

Jock.

The one I’m after has a very high specification, with three option packages. I certainly wouldn’t buy it as a new car (even if I could) but as a pre-registered one with delivery mileage only and £18000 off the list price (£15000 below the What Car target price) I’m a happy bunny

I've 2 off these I use to cook my tatties etc on when having a Barbie outside.


Hate to say Amazon ripped you off though I only paid a tenner for each of mine

The higher spec one has automatically cancelling indicators so turns them off if an inexperienced driver accidentally turns them on

I rely on Amazon a lot given that we live in the sticks. I was happy with the price especially as it came with 8 cans of gas and free delivery. Would have cost me more than £8 in petrol and parking if I'd have gone to the shops for it.

That makes all the difference if it came with gas ...then that price is a bargain

That was my initial reaction but I then realised there were 8 gas canisters included which usually sell for around £1 each or more, so in effect the Dude's only paid 84p for delivery - bargain!

Some of them also come with land and title

Including the m6, m5, m25, a1....etc

Yeah I confess I didn't click on the Amazon link and thought it was just for the cooker

With the gas it's a really good price.....in fact the cooker is probably free when you consider the postage.

It's such a bargain I now feel I'm missing out but I don't need 3

But only the lane nearest the central reservation. We less important drivers are allowed to use the other lanes

I'd better not tell you how much I pay at car boot sale then for the stoves ... as for the gas I saw some the other week at 50p a canister and because I bought the lot I got them even cheaper - about 30p a canister from memory! Should keep us going for a loooooooooooooonnnnnngggg time!

This little beasty at 13e is a clock, temperature gauge inside and outside, alarm clock and reports the voltage of the battery has choice of blue or red back light. Mines fastened to the leisure battery so I can keep an eye on the charge level, positioned at the foot of the bed so when 'er indoors wakes during the night she knows what time it is. If I'm still asleep then its too bloody early.

Photos please when finished ! Sounds good!

Well, it's been a while (and a whole other story), but I've finally managed to tame my lovely sewing machine and created these in the past week or two. I have to stop now though, as I've run out of cushion pads.
