well I pick up my van tomorrow and I'm very excited. Can't quite believe I get to have a campervan of my own!
Will post pics etc when I get it!

Any tips for handover (other than the handover download?).

Check the paintwork all over, I missed a scratch on mine that could only have happened at the dealers, probably when cleaning/prepping it. Enjoy the moment and I'll look out for you

Good advice. Thanks. You will probably see me before I see you! Make sure you wave.

Take some corny music for your first trip.
We made and downloaded a Spotify California play list!
Welcome to the hotel California

Etc I'm sure you'll get a few suggestions. I think there's an old thread somewhere too!

Thanks for the concern Tim!
I am grinning, tis true!
She's a beauty. Can't quite believe I've finally got the van! The kids have been giggling away in the roof space. They've also learnt not to mess with the blinds as child no.2 messed one up a little (thankfully not broken!). I can see that they will test my preciousness over this thing.

I saw it before you picked it up - nice, buddy. Great plate on it, too!

Enjoy every minute!

Guy said you were in. You've ordered now yeah? Good work.
Yeah the plate was a silly whim but I quite like it. Will be an extra nice thing for its rental.

Friday? Brilliant. The yellow is just so good. No photo quite captures the hue. It's really cheery and fun too. I liked the sunny yellow but I think this is even nicer.
Comparing notes will be good. I'm still scared every time I close the roof!

Haha. It does seem likes ages. Monday eh? Not long now. It's so brilliant. I just nipped out and folded the 'downstairs' bed out to try the comfort mattress. Was really impressed and was very tempted to sleep out on my drive!
You must be very excited/impatient now.

Where are all your photos, Daveyboy?

Where are all your photos, Daveyboy?

Hey, sorry all.
Decided to arrange a work meeting at the Inn at Whitewell in the beautiful Trough of Bowland.
It was a great drive made even greater by driving Yellow! I love the increased drive height. So good for nosying over hedges.
Here are a few pics of the van for anyone interested (especially those waiting for their T6).
