[panky]

We'll be there this weekend if anyone wants to pop in and say hello. Camping with a few Commer friends, near Boston Lincs

Don't forget the photos

[panky]

Oh OK then

What a lovely little place, so much more than bubble cars



My Auto-Sleeper



If Darth Vader had a scooter



This reminded me of the TARDIS, bubbles in space and time





Nut Shell folding caravan, can you tell what the wheel arches are made from?








Some lovely bikes on show









I liked the Berkleys



What ever this was it was ace









Dream kitchen







We missed a trip to see the Lancaster at a nearby airfield but I was busy picking up something for Ted

Great place with very friendly locals too

Some great pictures I used to have a Maico mobile and an NSU Prima in the 90,s.The commer was a great van and even better as a caravanette better than the Thames Trader of the same period

Looks a good outing at a great location! I also look forward to having a Commer that moves under its own power one day!
Nutshell caravan wings? Looks suspiciously like a bisected washing up bowl, but I may be wrong...

Pretty close, it's half a baby bath

i've never been to the museum..but i see their National Rally is in June.just wondering if my old Herald would make it that far!

[panky]

I see the rally is near Warwick this year, we were invited to attend last years event, at Wetherby racecourse, with the Commers from Commervanfan. Very interesting and some very unusual vehicles We're at the bottom of the photo gallery for the 2014 rally
The museum is well worth a visit if you're in the area.

'just wondering if my old Herald would make it that far!'

You could always borrow a Minor

[sid]

thanks for that panky..didn't realise the rally is at Hatton think my Herald should make it the 36 miles there will the Commer club be attending? super vans IMO

[panky]

No not this year. We were invited by a guy with a micro car collection who bought a Commer van of a friend of mine - he's restoring it and is going to cart his bubble cars around in it

'think my Herald should make it the 36 miles there '

But will it make the 36 miles back

panky..i spotted a Commer/Dodge van on the A34 (iirc) this week.red with a white stripe,can't remember the lettering on the side looked very smart!

[panky]

If it's the one I'm thinking of I know the guy in his Post Office Engineers van He would have been heading south after or Commerfest at the weekend.

[panky]

Was this the one

[sid]

yes,that's the one!

[panky]

He was heading home to Devon and the Postbus came down, to the event in Yorkshire, from Scotland
