Vehicle
T5 SE 180
image.jpg image.jpg I'm not one for naming my vehicles but my wife chose this and I think it might stick!

I thought I'd create a thread and hope to keep it updated with trips and any changes I make along the way

Recently picked up a 2013 SE 180 with DSG and cruise control, front and rear parking sensors, fifth seat rail. The previous owner also fitted a set of 19" ABT DR'S, 30mm VW lowering springs, ABT front spoiler, VW side bars wrapped in carbon fibre and a brandrup front carpet.

A couple of pictures above from the for sale advert.
 
After the viewing when I'd left a deposit -

Following the return trip home, even a cheesy picture of me -

I did manage to get away this weekend for an annual trip with my brother in law and nephew to Jeep Jamboree with a 1978 Jeep CJ7 -

I've just started to order my first additions, so hopefully to arrive soon will be a set of inka seat covers and monster mats, more additions to come shortley I think though ;)
 
With less than a weeks ownership under my belt, I couldn't be happier, they are truly an amazing vehicle. Really happy and looking forward to many more trips.
 
It's keeping my other camper company at the minute, a solid 1969 early bay westfalia pop top -

Few additions added -

Inka seat covers in grey
Monster mats
Wind deflectors
Carbon effect bonnet bra

Sold the 69 Westfalia the other day but couldn't resist an old versus new shot (or 20!). Feels odd being non-aircooled at the minute :(

Hi John, fantastic looking Cali! You beat me to it. I saw your Cali on AutoTrader and the original owner said it had been sold. Enjoy.
 
Hi john i could have had your cali a week earlier it had been reduced by 2000 from a month ago desided it was to far to go to the south coast i have something similar to yours now Hey John them wheels are the best on the market,my only regret would be the hard ride.cheers
 
Hi, thanks for the comments. Yes I'd been looking at it on auto trader and when he came back off holiday he reduced it by £3k so I was off on a 500 mile round trip the following day Deposit paid and another 500 mile round trip a few days later to collect it.

Love it so far and I've a number of cars which are far lower so for me it drives like a dream
 
Wow...!!! Mean looking machine. A spoiler would look good maybe?!
