I was watching Stephen Fry in America on Thursday (20th Jan 2011) and thinking how cool a trip like that would be. I am aware, however, that I have no money and a tiny car that however much I love it, is still slowly rusting to pieces.
So. A cool trip.. but on a smaller scale. How about trying to go to every county in England. That's the trip. (Well, trips plural to be accurate). The cool part will be doing it in a Camper Van.
Back to the no money issue. No 1964 T1 Samba for me then. I can probably rule out any original camper van, on cost and rust grounds. I can rule out a new campervan on the grounds that they start at 22k.
A secondhand Transporter may then be the solution of choice. Hopefully a diesel would be fairly efficient, or a petrol may be LPG convertable. And its more than possible to get it insulated and carpeted out inside. Aspie brain is plotting away about solutions inside for mattress/surfboard/bike.
So. An idea. Half a plan. First thing is to get the van. That will require research and continued money earning. Last summer at the IYS was a massive start, but extra jobs seem to have dried up. Back to reading the CV mags then hehe!
