I use 35 front and 45 rear as well. Hadn't adjusted to 50 for the rear when fully laden, but will bear that in mind. P. | |

| Scooby has 185/60/R15 tyres on all four Alloys and we use 40 at the rear and 36 at the front.
Had not previosly considered a higher level on the rear when fully loaded. ________________________________________________________________________________ Proud winners of Spike's Trophy 2017 Scooby - Born To Run | |

| Collected our van from Border restoration today after rusty arches and door sorted by the rusty metal being cut out, shot blasting and prefabrication then sealed, wax oiled and partial body respray (both sides done) Now looks very good - but as it is pouring rain I have not got out to polish yet - hence no pics! I have already posted some pics of Michelle & Marc's workshop with vans in a variety of undress and repair - an amazing setup to visit and their work is of very high standard - recommend +++
Note to Danbury - spend just a small amount of time wax oiling the new stock before selling! This would enhance the vehicles for very little expense and effort in the workshop (and some of this might not have been necessary!) | |

| How to make a Cal-Mac ferry railing look like a roof rack on Buzz - looks good but he would not fit in the garage with any more height! | |

| So can you raise and lower on demand or do you need to get the spanner out? | |

Bit off buffing before leaving for Brighton at 8am. ________________________________________________________________________________ www.alpinegrovetouringpark.com Twitter: @AlpineGrove Facebook: facebook.com/alpinegrovetouringpark

| Convoy down to Brighton with a bunch of other dubs, parked on the sea front and took a wonder to find some other BraziBays.
We found Bumble, Billysbeachbus, Bertie and Matilda. There's a black 16 plate somewhere too (saw them on the convoy) but we haven't found them yet. Are you on here? ________________________________________________________________________________ www.alpinegrovetouringpark.com Twitter: @AlpineGrove Facebook: facebook.com/alpinegrovetouringpark

| Spent the day (Sat) in Brighton before heading East along the coast and spending the night on a site near Battle. Had a nice walk and a meal with friends then headed home today. ________________________________________________________________________________ www.alpinegrovetouringpark.com Twitter: @AlpineGrove Facebook: facebook.com/alpinegrovetouringpark

| Yesterday, I loaded two heavy leather arm chairs onto the cargo floor, chucked in Ali and the girls and drove across west London. Dropped off one daughter at a party then the two chairs at my brothers, before returning to the party to collect said daughter. How many other vans can carry massive pieces of furniture and the family one weekend and go camping the next! | |

| They are so versatile! We managed to move a big sofa today. Fitted in no problem - especially because we can remove the buddy seat and the cooker/fridge/sink cupboard very easily. Met some horses on the country road. They loved seeing a BraziBay in the countryside! | |
