I wouldn’t say that I am obsessed with VW campervans, it’s a
passing interest, so whenever I pass one I’m interested, really interested. If
it’s rolling along the road I gaze longingly at it as it trundles by, wishing
that it was mine, rating it out of ten. I’m torn between the split screen and
the original Westphalia , but really any VW campervan
takes my interest, even the new ones.
I’ve managed so far to stay away from too much campervan
stuff. I’ve a print, a couple of fridge magnets, and my collection of T shirts.
I have four, so it’s hardly an obsession is it?
Is my collection of T shirts bordering on the obsessive?
Is my collection of T shirts bordering on the obsessive?
Of course, in my dreams I own a campervan and sometimes I
pass the time by imagining what my campervan would look like and how I would
campervan it up. I might just go for a cool cream, a subtle green, or maybe a
grey. Of course I’d like it to look cool, so maybe a few Sailor Jerry tattoo
embellishments might do the trick. Yes, I quite fancy that.
The bus in the picture is cool. I bumped into it in Wales at the
weekend, Barmouth to be precise. It may look wrecked and rusty but the distress and rust are lovingly
painted on. I went up close and checked it out. The lumps and bumps of rust are
resin and it’s been painstakingly painted then hand-faded to make it look worn out.
What a great example of a really cool vehicle all shabby chic-ed up and
immaculate in every other way. Just look at those shiny hub caps and the streamliner
interior gleamed like that proverbial new pin.

ReplyDeleteWe felt the same about our Triumph Stag!
Andrew Height
ReplyDeleteI like the idea Gloria. Some things are best left as ideas, this one I'm not sure about.
Gloria Brown on FB
ReplyDeleteI thought you said you gaze longingly wishing it was yours!
Andrew Height
ReplyDeleteNo, not the thing, the idea. I wanted and bought a speedboat once. Took it out once! What part of the coast are you on?
Gloria Brown on FB
ReplyDeleteWe don't live near the coast unfortunately, we live in Piddington a lovely hamlet village just outside Brill

ReplyDeleteOh wow I would love one x
Andrew Height
ReplyDeleteI have a place by the coast in North Wales. If I had a WV I'd travel the UK one day at a time and stopping off at a different pub each evening. I'd do it for a year and write a book called 365 nights in a campervan - a tour of Britain... might not bother with Scotland though

ReplyDeleteThat sounds amazing to me!!
Kerry Swift on FB
ReplyDeleteI think you should do it. We are getting closer to the idea. Not sure I like rat look though, always preffered a real crisp paint job
Andrew Height
ReplyDeleteI'd go for something in between Kerry Swift. A not too shiny paint job with Sailor Jerry wraps and I know just where to get it done - right Kieran Goodwin? I always was boho-grunge at heart.

ReplyDeleteThat would be a fun job

ReplyDeleteI'd love one, bay or split, can't afford either though have to do a few more shop fascias first!
Andrew Height
DeleteYou the man Kieran. I'd love to see what you did with one. I have the cash but I have to justify the spending of it first. I am such a playsafer.
