| As a few of you heard at the Sleepover I was thinking of selling Ginger. Well after a chat with Ian at VWKampers and after one hell of a fight with myself trying to make my mind up I've decided it's time for her to fly the nest and move on. Don't worry I'm not getting a T5
Would like to thank everyone on here for being properly awesome both on the forum at the events. You haven't seen the last of us though, will still be hanging around here and popping along to some events ________________________________________________________________________________ Ginger man without a ginger van | |

| Sorry to read you have made this decision - it must have been difficult. We too were hoping you would keep Ginger when hearing the news at the weekend. Glad to hear you both will still be around - both on here and at events. We will miss you and your technical updates!

| You probably feel better now that you've made the decision. It must have been a real heart v's head battle. I know you want to stay with the VW scene so I'm sure we'll see you at an event or two. Going to miss your fiery balls! | |

| Very sad news. I know that none of us would be here if it wasn't for Tim, but specifically we wouldn't be here if it wasn't for you two wandering up and introducing yourselves at VW Stoner in 2011.
We had no idea until that point that there was a 'special' club for Brazi Bay owners, so for that we are forever in your debt.
Stay in touch, feel free to pop in if you're ever near Reading and if you need a Brazi Bay adventure in the future I'm sure Tallulah will be up for it. Besides, our joint DJing adventure is just getting started! ________________________________________________________________________________ www.alpinegrovetouringpark.com Twitter: @AlpineGrove Facebook: facebook.com/alpinegrovetouringpark

| Thanks for all the kind words everyone. It's been a really tough decision but she just doesn't get used much anymore. Time to let someone else enjoy her ________________________________________________________________________________ Ginger man without a ginger van | |

| Sorry to hear your news, but as the saying goes 'all good things come to an end'. It must've been a tough decision. It's been great to meet you and be inspired by your modding and electrical genius!
p.s. I'm not offended by a T5! | |

Philosophical thought of the day from Mrs Bumble. Enjoy your new season or the 1970's football version:- "we had joy we had fun, we had (insert name of rivals) on the run, but the fun didn't last as the b**tards ran too fast!" Non-philosophical thought for the day from Paul. | |
