| I think it's weather related. In the south we're busy using our Kombis for camping and don't have much spare time to 'titivate' them, with the poorer weather up north the limited camping opportunities leaves them with too much spare time!  ________________________________________________________________________________ www.alpinegrovetouringpark.com

| Tallulah was used for a total of 116 nights and 130+ days last year, barely leaving enough time for our full time jobs, childcare and eating! ________________________________________________________________________________ www.alpinegrovetouringpark.com

Ah not exactly fair .... she's a working girl   Indeed, approx 1/3 is personal use. ________________________________________________________________________________ www.alpinegrovetouringpark.com

| So approx 43 days personal use? We did half of that in France in one go! As I believe they used to say in the RAF: "Get some in!"

| Except that even though we weren't in Tallulah ourselves for the other 80 ish nights, she wasn't at home either so couldn't be worked on. ________________________________________________________________________________ www.alpinegrovetouringpark.com

| True - but in a way you get paid to keep her clean! I suppose the only conclusion to this friendly banter is that a Southern much used Kombi will never win the Star Kombi award...

| Some of the pics have been fantastic - helped by people with more skill than me plus a bit of sunshine.
Can't wait to see (borrow) yours Scooby.

| Right - no more North/South banter on this thread please ..... In other news, I'm thrilled at all the photos that are coming through either here or on our Facebook page - I never get to take many so it's a real bonus so many of you do. Much appreciated. ________________________________________________________________________________ Max SportsKombi - The Bay Racer

| ...and one more thing - congratulations to Skytiger for the Star Kombi Trophy and Kiteman's buzzer record - we watched him doing that 12 seconds and it was truly amazing! Husband is still recovering from the shock after seeing that... | |
