Offered - Germany to UK in April in a van

[UtterPiffle]

Bit of an advance offering this one, but I thought I would put it up early, as I also have storage in case any amazing never to be repeated bargains appear in the next couple of months!

We are coming over to the UK in April in our van. It will be mostly empty, so sets of wheels or other larger car parts should be no problem. We will be travelling from Dover to Norwich, Market Rasen, Andover in Hampshire, and down into the west country, may be useful to someone!

So, if there is anything you need to buy on German websites between now and then, get it sent to me, and I'll bring it over in April!

Marham in my van? In this?

Probably not. Directional stability is not really its forte

Did you not get my text last week mate? We will be in the west country middle of April, so will try to pop in.
In the mean time, Essen Classica is first weekend in April, which is 35km from here. Fancy a wee roadtrip?

Yep, if you can get them to Düsseldorf. PM me the details including where you are and we will try to work something out.

Probably not depending on who gets in first! However, I don't think I've seen a single Panda since moving over here...

Guys, slight change of plan...

We worked out the route that we want to make - 1800 miles. At 11mpg, even with LPG, that is a lot of money in fuel! So for this trip we will fly and borrow my sisters old Citroen instead. Nice.

Anyway, I do have to MOT the van shortly, so will be making a trip over the water within the next couple of months. By all means still have stuff sent to me and I will bring it over, just don't be in any hurry!
