Hello!

Post by flyingant » Sun Jul 15, 2012 8:21 pm

Bon jour from the Swiss Alps!

I was born in Hertfordshire, but have lived most of my life outside the UK - Tasmania, New Zealand, Rhodesia and now Switzerland. I have many years experience with Land Rovers, having owned a Series 1 and a 2A Dormobile. (I also owned a VW camper - but don' t tell everybody!) My current camper is another Dormobile factory conversion - unfortunately on a Defender chassis - but I hope you will forgive me!

Hi Tony,

Welcome to the forum, sorry to have missed you in France in June, Mick may have told you that I sold the Carawagon last year. Fond memories of those huge croissants delivered fresh to our campsite each morning that your good lady sourced for us.

cheers

Thanks for the welcome chaps!

Hi John. Was sorry to hear you had to let the Carawagon go - I know the feeling! At least you had another great African trip first, and your ' Colonel' project is very interesting. Hope we can share croissants again soon - perhaps at 'Le Bal des Series' in September?

All the best,
Tony

Hello and welcome,
I am going to build up a IIa Dormobile as a forth coming project, but in the mean time I have a 110 Csw and a Dormobile pop up roof (fitted to a 110 roof sitting a the workshop). So I might put the roof onto the 110 to see what it is like to use as never had a Dormobile yet and the stuff is just sitting there.
