Hello there .....

Hi all, Thanks for accepting me as a member to the club ! I finally took the plunge and recently took delivery of a Cali Ocean 199. I've been stalking the site for many many months and it feels great to officially join.... let the adventures begin !

Hi Ma77.
Welcome to the Cali family. A few more details would be nice, colour, options etc. Enjoy.

Hi all, After much deliberation I went for Indium Grey, I did consider two tone but couldn't justify the extra. As far as options I went for the 199 as it made sense financially as did purchasing new rather than nearly new or converting (to me anyway!). I also considered 4 motion but after researching opted for 2wd, I may live to regret but reckoned sensible driving and decent tyres will get me by ! As it will be my daily drive also opted for Art velour but am now researching waterproof covers ! I stuck with standard Woodstock alloys and added in the chrome pack, comfort mattress and shower attachment. I am yet to name her/him/it ... I went for Roxy, purely down to letters in the number plate but isn't popular in this house ! .... needs some more thought

. It's a magnificent machine and am delighted with my choices, my research led me to realise that there are lots of valid opinions out there, which can be mesmerising

Welcome Ma77 ... and being in Taunton, you have the whole of Devon and Cornwall at your doorstep. An adventure does not have to me a multiday long trip. Short overnight trips and even camping on the driveway can be an adventure on its own.

Enjoy!
