Absolutely gorgeous You must be so excited!
he is almost identical to the T4 Westy that I had
Absolutely bloomin' fantastic!! Beyond excited? Ecstatic I should imagine!
Sunny tomorrow.....A tropical 7 degrees in London! Touring time!
Indeed you are right! Last week in Feb or first in March. I am with my dealer on Wednesday next week to see what influence he can have to achieve hand over on 23rd Feb - my Lady's birthday!! I don't hold out too much hope but worth a try!It will be you soon JW
It was a glorious sunny (but cold!) day when I picked him up, which is a first, anytime previously when I've picked up a new(ish) car, its been lashing down with rain...!! So, I see that as a good sign
Thank you everyone for your kind words, every mile I drive makes me love it even more, it was definitely worth the very long wait! The Cascaval rims were a nod to the Empi 5 rims I used to have on my old splitty, they too were anthracite grey and its a great colour, goes with just about every colour on a vehicle.
Other than a very early drive to work and back (oh how wonderful is the auxiliary heater when its -2 outside...) and a school run, I’ve spent most of the day ‘pottering’, sorting out all my camping/kitchen paraphernalia, taking all the plastic off the seats and shelves etc.
And finally, the Cali bottom drawer can be emptied!!

And he is freaking awesome....
Yes I’m biased I know, but what an amazing vehicle. In a funny kind of way he feels very familiar, because he is almost identical to the T4 Westy that I had a few years ago. Anyway, me and the kids are officially very happy. May the adventures begin...

Sun in London on camper pick up day (+1 even)? We would all like to see that as an omen - bring it on!!
Pics of mine to follow...... meantime? Enjoy you new life (i'm not kidding!).
Not worried about the 1st March as have a personal reg number - T600 VWC, which will stay with the Cali when we eventually sell.JW...nice idea about the 23rd Feb but you might want to hang on till March 1st for the new registration number?
