New California collected yesterday!

tim batten · May 15, 2015

Having sold our 2008 SE 174 4-Motion last September, we collected our new California SE 180 DSG 4-Motion yesterday, from Guy at Lancashire Van Centre, Preston. We ordered it during the last week of February. Olympia Blue, with grey leather/alcantara, and lots of extras. We are very pleased with it, and are looking forward to our first big trip. We did 35,000 miles in the last one, and traveled extensively in Europe - our favorite venues being Slovenia, which was superb for camping and outdoor activities, especially cycling, and the Outer Hebrides where we experienced Caribbean beaches and weather.

Hello

We also bought from Guy at Preston & also spent last June in the Scottish Highlands including Harris & Lewis. We enjoyed it that much so we are going back on the 1st June to Skye then on to North / South Uist Benbecula & Barra can't wait. Although not been abroad in the Cali yet but maybe next year.
Enjoy your new van.

You will love Slovenia - but driving in from Austria via the Karawanken tunnel is scary. 2 way, fast moving traffic, dark and VERY long!
