Should I sell the beetle & buy a camper?

I'm fed up of sleeping in a tent!! I fancied coming to Plymfest but tenting it just isn't appealing & at Big Bang I was so cold at night, I just couldn't get to sleep

I love the bug but I also love a good nights sleep, the space to take what I want, a stereo & not having to fuck about with tent pegs

Decisions, decisions...

Buy a t4 and tow the beetle , You'll regret not being able to race.

You could sell the fiats to fund the t4

I could'nt say! I love the life you lead by the photo's I've seen, tinkering and dragging! ( and selling bits!)

Could you drag a camper van now and again! (must be a class for it!)

But i'm sure you would have a cool looking camper with some tweaks on it!

Bugger it!, sell it and chill for a bit and watch the others dragging and blowing up there's for a change!

But braincell has a point! A good one if you can afford it!

I have thought of maybe doing that but I'd need to buy a trailor too & find somewhere to store it which is a bit of a headache. Also a T4 would be more expensive to run, tax & insure than a split or bay...Hmmm

dunno if I would miss racing... it gets quite lonely sitting in the fire up lane while everyone else gets to see the show, drink, sit on the bank etc

...and they aren't fucking Fiats!! they're Porsche 914s dinlow!

Thanks!

I've never understood racing vans to be honest... deffo not for me!
I'd still keep my project 66 anyway so I could always go back to it in the future when I finally finish it

914's arn't they a bit classic? They look nowt like the X-19's

The trailer could kill it!

I was looking at buying this but a mate's bought it instead

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=220409109070

... looked at this too but would have needed sommat to tow it

very cool though... it's even called a Cheltenham

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=300310997197

Both look interesting!

A kampernik type thing looks quite cool! Or am I on a about a karman type thing!

I thought that Cheltenham!!!!!!

yeah it's like a Kamperink but based on the Dodge rather than a bay

get a foldy caravan like taze and tow it with the bug ,
