well folks its my birthday soon so you can all have a whip round and buy me a split screen camper and a porker 911 engine.

I am at that stage where one wants a VW camper.

Candy red, cream on top.

Porker engine.

Slammed.

Big chrome bling alloys.

Oh yeah, thats the stuff, just liek the gumball 3000 one. It has to be candy red and cream though, they are the only colours that suit it I think.

Oh I like these,

My mate Carlos had a camper a while back with a 911 lump in it, he usaed to own his own VW garage for a while, the camper died/turned flintstones and for the past 3 years (Due to marriage and 3 kids) he has been putting the lump in a beach buggy!

Yeah these are pretty damn cool.

If you like them so much, why aren't you coming to RTTS Chris?

Last time we 'croozed' down with about, erm 20 camper vans. Some minters, some rats, and there was a mini camper van (uber short wheelbase) when we got there.

VeeDub heavan.

I was seriously looking at one of these not so long ago, one came up - it was a '68 bay window so tax exempt but had a split screen coversion on it.

Guy was desperate to sell and struck a deal at £4k with 12mts MOT, but got guzumped an hour before i went to pick it up, which hurt!

apparently there is a shortage of campers due to the world cup! it would seem the english want a camper to go over in rather than pay for a hotel!

I'm looking for a largish camper to do up, will probably buy one after summer or after the world cup - to go do europe next year.

That would have been a bit of a beast.

Tempted to build one, but van builds don't give enough space for a decent sized bed / bathroom.

I'll go get my anorack.
