Hi all out there,
became member in May, but did not introduce myself, so, for what it's worth: 2 years ago we bought an early 1992 T4 California 2.4D, without seeing the car actually (interesting but long story); the car was in Nijmegen (Netherlands) and the owner had to swap it for another campervan, but would lose any discount from the garage. So he wanted to get rid of it - we on the other were looking for several months, and learned after a call that the van had indeed 365K km, but just had the engine replaced. As I was very busy at work, I put a bid on the ad, just to confirm my interest. To my surprise, he accepted it (some 2K less than asking price !), on the condition that I would come and buy the van the next Saturday. Luckily, it turned out well...
In the meantime have done several trips - Cote d'Azur, Cotswolds, North of France and Normandy, Utrecht region and Zeeland in the Netherlands, etc... it never let us down (yet sometimes in 2nd gear
).
Must admit that I follow heavily the Dutch forum www.weetjewel.nl but learned on occasion that there is a collegue driving around just nearby in Bruges (Calibusje), and have been following Bettybus for a while.
Hope to hear from you guys!
