But they did have to drive it down a hill so steep it was nearly a cliff to make it go fast enough to entertain.LynehamHerc wrote: ↑Wed Oct 26, 2022 5:02 pm I wouldn't be surprised if someone had come up with a way to easily jettison a burning engine.

True.
But you could have Little Nellie stored inside and launched through the massive roll back roof in one of these. That'd be cool.

I wonder if this is a Jurgens Autovilla from South Africa?BusmansHoliday wrote: ↑Wed Oct 26, 2022 3:46 pm IMG_20221026_114400097_HDR.jpg
Just think, you could sit at the table in the back and barbeque your food and keep warm when it catches fire.
Theres one on SA plates locally that I suspect got marooned here due to covid lockdowns.

Re: The camping and caravan thread
Explosive bolts like they use for rocket stage separation would soon sort that....oddly I've seen quite a few of those coach-built ones about. I guess they are significantly less than a normal one and you can't exactly rip the back off to make a pickup so they will probably stay less valuable.LynehamHerc wrote: ↑Wed Oct 26, 2022 5:02 pm But just think, difficult for you I know, you could just get out of the drivers seat, leg it back and then piss on it.

Might be SA for South Australia if it's been imported.Dead_E23 wrote: ↑Wed Oct 26, 2022 9:40 pmI wonder if this is a Jurgens Autovilla from South Africa?BusmansHoliday wrote: ↑Wed Oct 26, 2022 3:46 pm IMG_20221026_114400097_HDR.jpg

There's a second one in the background that had an SA badge on the back.

Re: The camping and caravan thread
Probably sold for megabucks to convert into a hipster coffee or artisan food van.

Converted? It's was already a hipster porridge and fresh fruit van! I'll have a look round the back and see if the engineless hipster promo H van is still there.LynehamHerc wrote: ↑Sun Oct 30, 2022 1:13 pm Probably sold for megabucks to convert into a hipster coffee or artisan food van.

Re: The camping and caravan thread
I didn't realise hipsters existed around your way, I just assumed that it was a normal trading estate food van as the brand names mean nothing to me.
