Title: still kicking
Post by: twisted on October 01, 2020, 10:40:00 AM
hello boys and girls. ;D

long time no speak. just thought i would drop in and say im still here and still keeping an eye on whats going on, just havent had much to say.
i still own and ride the trike but have also recently bought a new van. i say new but its 22 years old  :D vw t4 transporter. plan is i can use it to carry tools and stuff but if i can get work further afield or if i get caught late on a job i can sleep on the bed in the back. or as the other half says if i p**s her off i will be living in it  :D :D :D ::)

still self employed in film and events but the has pretty much died on its a**e so trying to scratch out a living however i can whilst waiting on promised work.

hope all you wonderful gents and ladies are holding up ok in all this weirdness.

take it easy

Good to see you still around buddy.

Loved my T4, still gutted that I sold it when we moved over here

'ello matey :)
Good to hear from you. Things have been pretty quiet around here lately. I'm struggling to find the enthusiasm to do anything at the moment & new builds seem to have dried up. People seem to be hybernating until the virus is gone. Always nice to know the old familiar faces are still out there.
Don't be a stranger mate :)

Ah, you've joined the VW world - sensible man!   Good to hear from you.

This year's been a bugger hasn't it?  I don't have the work problem, been retired for years but I started the year with getting my 2nd new hip and was booked into every VW event I could get a ticket for.  All cancelled of course.

Let's hope it will get better in 2021!

Have been told on a couple of occasions that the prices of VW vans is rising (has risen) due to the increased demand of folk turning them into campers.

Price rise, scene tax, yes it’s all the staycationers thinking they can have a cheap break in this country.Devon and Cornwall littered with them in lay-bys, grass verges etc.

I want to visit Scotland again, but it's the same there -half of England is heading for the beaches or the Highlands at the moment.
