Burn Mine
If anyone fancies buring mine please feel free, it's up for renewal in a couple of years and I could do with the insurance

It's hilarious what a simple thread starting with a pic of my boat in a wood can develop into Burning Caravans!

Redfox please don't take offence, but your image, first thing that came into my head.
Elvis is driving a rib!

Caravans etc.....
Hey guys...No offence taken or intended...just trying to promote some good ole-fashioned banter, with some serious stuff mixed in there too! Its just that when I see an opperchancety to dig, I can't resist! Hopefully you see the humour there too!
Damn, I did'nt think you guys had seen my closet, sorry I mean my van. And yes, my van does have a closet, thank you! It performs the function of a bar! Unfortunately space is at a premium on my Rib, so the bar there comes in the shape of a hip flask!
My towing outfits (caravan and boat) are pretty close in weight, and I still get a kick outta the expressions of disbelief on the faces of the go-slow brigade when I overtake 'em! Like I said, it's folks you gotta deal with - not things!
Red Fox - It don't look like Elvis to me.....more like Ned Flanders!

Red Fox -- Hey Elvis, sorry Ned, oops sorry Mark, I told you before - you should'nt be allowed to use your box of crayons while under the influence! You know you can only do justice to one thing at a time - stick to drinking! 
PS - how do you get the 'quote' thingy to work?

Just press 'Quote' button (bottom right hand corner) instead of 'Reply'. Then delete any text you don't want and add your own two-pennyworth.

Ok Louise, got it now, thank you. Never noticed those buttons before - My faculties must be dimming with advancing years! And before we have any smart remarks from anyone else - yes I know - getting more and more advanced all the time!

I knew that teaching had some good points, but......Get back to work you lazy git! You gonna blind us with reflections Mark? Just wait till you've trailered it all the way back to NEB next summer - all that elbow grease will be hidden under a coupla hundred miles of road dirt!
Mr Murk60ski? I like it Mark! But he is gonna be like a cat on a hot tin roof till he can put it in the water and try it out! Better hope no poor Welshmen get in his way on the way home - he won't be able to see 'em over his grin!
PS Better drink all the contents of your cocktail cabinet in the van before you tow it home - would'nt want you to have to pull all that extra weight - it might slow you down some!

Caravans
Nothing wrong with caravans Red Fox and Bill S will agree, 412 miles in under 8 hours equals not holding anyone up, wot pees me off is lorries, one doing 56mph and one overtaking doing 56.5 mph, taking miles to get past with a huge q of traffic. Roll on NEB.

2 rod holders at the rear ( home made but look very good)
Engine hour meter, Garmin 100 fishfinder with speed and temp,
ski bolts, got an excellent trailer lock, which also locks the trailer to the towbar, alarm, its now named CONCORDE coz we got it the day after Concorde stopped flying and its large white and fast, so its got a name on the back.
