What have you done with your California today?

[Jodalo]

Not today, but day-before. A trip to the tip ... It is an awesome towing vehicle.

To the tip? Looks like charity shop material.

The West Berkshire tip also has the Community Furniture Charity Shop ... so that is where I was headed

I will put it in a little quiz:

How many pallets can a standard VW California SE (Ocean) transport. Loaded and or not loaded?

 

[Elly Swanson]

Needed addblue for the first time so thought we'd go to the local vw garage that services our car (got the Cali 18mths ago from Liverpool). Technician there did it for us at no cost at all as we have a service plan. RESULT

Like the blind cervus (latin): No eye deer!

Is that the standard EU pallet you are talking about?
and is it with the bench seat removed?

EUR pallet size (EUR and or EPAL), stock California, everything in place, inclusive bench stops, just the rear shelf removed, but in the van.

Hint: more than 0.

6 and then it starts getting narrower.

I presume that you will now post a pic of your van loaded with
pallets? or was it just something to guess for your pleasure.

Ok, time to reveal, as it is in the topic what have you done, not what can you do....

6 loaded pallets and 1 not loaded.




Note again, the stop at the front is still in place, the rear bench also, the bed extension is between the front and back seats, including mattress, and all the other stuff that was in the boot.

Thats 7 empty pallets, why are you saying 6 ?

30€ x 7 = 210€
Thats the deposit on them here anyway.

 

[TripleBee]

There are 6 pallets loaded with pallets, one is empty...

Never mind...

I think I must sell them to you for half the price.
In Belgium they only go for €7 (used pallets). If you can sell them as a person. Most only buy from companies.
Want to make €105? I will give you my address.

 

[Swiss Cheese]

Today I tested a CB Radio and mag mount antenna... very 80's

 

[Alied]

Just got back to Bristol from France.

 

[Loz]

Replaced the rear battery post fuse holder for a better-designed one that allows for other loop connectors to be added after the fuse and faces backwards giving more space to get the battery out and you can also see if the fuse has blown without having to remove the battery.
Before and after pictures. (@Roger Donoghue these would be good for your kit)

 

[cosmiccampers]

Invaded by donkeys in the new forest...and we also bumped into a fellow member of the VWCC

Ooo where in the forest? We’re down that way and trying to find spots to stop with the awning up. Hope you got to finish your picnic!

 

[Daveb999]

After a lot of messing about with central locking and fuses in the morning I finally got to take my Cali on its first trip with me. Down to Peak District until Thursday then over to Cheshire for a couple of days.

They are 17X8.5 KMC XD Holeshots with 245/65X17 BF Goodrich AT

Have you noticed a big change in the speedo reading when you installed them?

My speedo reads 74 when actually only at 70 so is about 6% out in its reading currently. I’m looking at these tyres and they would be 9.3% bigger than my current tyre. Therefore my speedo would then read 68 when doing 70 therefore slightly out the other way.

Bodyboarding and lunch at Sugar Sands on the Northumberland coast

Just chilling, perusing the Seven sisters from the west side at the mouth of the River Ouse.

We used to surf that beach (Newhaven Harbour, West side?) at mid tide on big wind swells as it was very protected. But the French claimed ownership of the land and blocked access. By the looks of your photo you get down onto the beach again...or is that the top of the security fence on the top left of the photo ?

Hope for Newhaven's sandy beach, or stalemate?

You’re right, that is the security fence. No public access still to the beach or sea wall. Where I used to fish as a teenager. Shame, because that area has such potential. It’s now the base for the windfarm sited off Brighton. See pic below. As far as I know still owned by the French. Merde!
