What have you bought for your Cali today :-)

New drop link as it failed its MOT today. Oddly seems to have managed to bend itself following the lowering.

Off on a 5-week trip in seven days time so bought the following 'essentials'
  • Tablecloth cut to size from John Lewis
  • Solar awning lights
  • Clip-on vase for flowers I'll pick en-route (small)
  • Bunting
  • Summer quilt
  • 12V clip-on fan
  • Headtorch
  • A Kindle for the wife. Not a swap, a gift.
Regards, Simon
 
A jumpstart power bank and compressor in one from Lidl.
I am a sucker for combined stuff but this seems a genuinely useful tool. And compact too. Should be able to jumpstart diesels up tot 2.2 L

This old box has been round the world --

Using it as extra storage for upcoming 10 day trip to the Scottish Highlands with the children.

We are planning to stay in one or two spots only so it will be outside in the awning most of the time.

Secured to seat with strap.

Anyone else tried something like this??
 
Got my new cutting board for the kitchen. I ordered it in halve-size with an aluminium rim as heat protection.

On a german club meeting in May at “lago di garda” the young son of a club member presented these boards for the different versions of the T5/T6 California kitchens. They are all made of oak. He is a cabinet maker, Cali enthusiastic and produces the boards after his fulltime job in his free time. For this reason I had to wait 2 months to get one.

What a great idea! Love the half size one as it gives somewhere to place a serving dish if cooking on one ring.
Any chance of him selling these in the UK?

Amazing how much rubbish I generate .................................
 
Well love the Bandrup seat pockets, but ive not won the lottery yet so found these at Inca made at £62 each so got 2 for the price on one bandrup one. Very verry happy with them, the quality, the look, the thickness, the velvet feel inside the pockets, and absolutely love the California embroidery stitching on them. All in all 10/10

Would be interested to know how you get on as we found the holes at the top stretched and came away.

We sent them back.... although they didn't say California on it!

Unless you need the third rail, the two rail carpet goes over the middle rail and the bed plus drawer still opens. Just a thought.
 
Not bought today but fitted yesterday, some H&R antiroll bars. Yet to driver any further than the garage to home (about a mile), hopefully get some miles in tomorrow before our up and coming trip.
