Centaur's Caravelle

The first day I got her...
...she's a bit cleaner now, hasn't got the window-cleaner roof bars :  (except when touring with a roofbox) and is a bit more blingier 
...just awaiting Snakeye's "it's a Taxi" comments

I can honestly say that he reversed that as he was showing off in front of all the army boys in transit. He did a better job than Tescos who were reversing their lorry's.

I did it once with Vicky and a friend of ours in the car, drove in, reversed into a space in one go with the trailer straight in and dead centre between the lines.. got out feeling very proud of myself and the girls just got out and walked into the services.. didn't even notice..

Did even better when dropping off the old caravan to local Freecyclers - turned up to their house, on a corner...to find a gravel driveway. The only way to get the 'van up was to back it in and there wasn't much room to get a decent angle into the drive - and even less between the gateposts.
It's a rare occurrence when Phoenix is gobsmacked into silence!

our new drive is similar... the drive comes off the road at right angles to the gate into the back yard where the caravan is going and it is very steep so wont be able to push it up... will see how well I do next week...

not the heat...just an attention to detail
...you see Tigger's original posting:
note that time...7.05pm ...now see that he edited that message at 11.04pm
(Professor Plum in the Library with a Landrover Discovery carjack)
...so it took him two replies and 4 hours to see he'd left an unfinished sentence there...and then pretends otherwise :
....next he'll be telling us Discoveries are reliable!!

Well until I dumped my Sky subscription, the Discovery channel was ok. Never knew why they called it that though, hadn't seen one single disco on it. They must have all been waiting for mechanics to look at them.

Ohhhhh dear, you really wanna point out slight spelling mistakes in Steves posts, John? I did that once, and had to help out removing his long pipe at a wet meet. Never again.
