Hello From Nottinghamshire!

[Luke Sharp]

Hello everyone, newcomer on here having just pushed the button on a T6.1 Ocean that I hope to pick up before Xmas. Have had a T6.1 Combi van for almost 3 years, used mainly for moving a classic motorbike to rallies & shows through the summer months, then just sleeping on the van floor. Also been keen motorcycle tourers over the years, but struggling with high mileages these days, so the bikes will now go onto a trailer and the California will do the hard work, and hopefully give a bit more comfort when we arrive.

Hello from another Mansfield biker gone soft and not sleeping on floors anymore ( except when very very drunk ) You’ll love the Cali.

Nice! Welcome. Can we know more about the classic motorcycle please? Pretty please?

Hi,
Slightly off topic but have you guys had any dealings with VW Commercials Nottingham?
I’m looking at servicing and considering where to go?

Nope never been there. I heard parking is awkward. I don’t know where you are in East Midlands but Marshall’s Lincoln are ok.

I've used them for my combi van servicing, mainly for convenience, drop the van, tram into Nottingham for the day, then collect in the evening. The servicing was okay and without issue, but as stated, parking is very limited, as it is in many van centres these days. And like JCT600 Sheffield, just getting someone to answer the phone seems sometimes very difficult?

A two stroke in the Picos, doesn’t get any better.
I was going to PM you but I can’t because you’re not a VIP member. If you need a gas bottle when you get the van I have a brand new full one. Cost €55 in a supermarket in France. £50 if you need.

Hi, I use Marshall’s Lincoln. Found them very helpful.
