Rupert!
- Thread starter sistervation
- Start date
Thought I ought to add a few pics!
First the handover from Mike
We then got used to the gear change with a lot of stop start driving on the East India Dock Road. Once onto the open road, we settled down to a steady 50-55 (difficult to tell as the speedo wavered between 50 and 60. We even caught and overtook a lorry, then stopped for a break at Peterborough where we met Brian:
Although he was a Darksider, his owner was a Commer fan who admired Rupert.
We had a few people hoot and give us a cheery wave and an old guy in the passenger seat of an MGF lean out and give us the thumbs up.
A few cars behind, but not a tailback!
Finally, Rupert arrived at his new home.
'I intend to live forever - so far, so good'

Today started with a visit to Martin and a visit to Commerland.
Unfortunately I had to bid farewell to Rupert, so a last drive to Doncaster to get the train home.

Guess where I took Rupert for our inaugural camp?

there were others still there, I deliberately got that angle to frame him through the gateway. But yes, it was a bit swampy-but great fun using him for the first time #128522;
