I do. Think I have one in another console. What I do need is a nice ital spoiler Baz :-) if you have any spare.
If he's got one Ben he won't find it if the hood's up on his anorak!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

There's a half decent one here from the Ital I (well Chris really!) recently stripped.

I'm looking for a couple to be honest. If you have one that would be a start!

Ok. So it's not a Marina and it wasn't today-last Sunday actually but I've been away all week starting a new job.
I bought this last Saturday. Phil and Kev came over on Sunday to help have a poke around it and we did some jobs on Kevs coupe ( KEVIN!!-update???)
So here's what I bought.

Great wee camper van, very nearly bought one of them myself one time and then regretted not. Goes well if you leave the tail gate window open -acts like a kind of spoiler!

A little Fiat camper, I love those things :thumbup: Well jealous! I had a camper van years ago, a Bedfoed CF and it was amazing. Made me feel like a proper kid :lol: Me and my girlfriend went everywhere in it, good times:) I loved it. Everyone should own a camper at least once their lives, honestly you won't regret it. Good luck with it man, good times ahead :thumbup:
