oflynno

donnacha

peasant

It wouldn't be this "iconic motorhome" from carzone




Yours for the princely sum of 3700 Euro :eek:

Also known as, or perhaps more correctly known as, the T3....so you *were* right the first time...and the second time too :D:D

oflynno

so the lad is looking for a camper

can you,the op,tell us which one you want and we'll have a look around

Ehh, T25 (Or T3 in Ireland and the UK) is really not to my liking. Ugly piece of sh1t IMO.

BTW, yes it'll probably be a "camper" but I dont care what condition all the camping furnishings are in, I'll be ripping them out for a an L shaped lounge anyways.

I'm in france atm and the day before yesterday we were parked in front of one, a lovely classic yellow T2. Slight damage to one door but bar that it was in very good nick. Very little visable damage. Also, insurance is up at the end of the month so if they were gonna sell now would be perfect time. I'm gonna call in next week and ask if they're willing to part with it. My dad rekons it hasn't been moved in a while...Pity about transition year, I've forggotten my small amount of french:P

You would want to take an account with Davids with that thing.:eek:

donnacha

have to admit myself that the older models are a heck of a lot prettier - so can understand the lack of interest in the t25. my mates one is in a heck of a better state than that orange thing - though it does have rust and has been sitting in his parents driveway for a year doing nothing. motor still runs fine - he reckons he wants €2k for it ... would that be reasonable do you think before he goes posting on the car sites.

carchaeologist

On the eirecooloed site...

You have to wonder why go to all that bother!!!

carchaeologist

Another...

And another one on the trailer theme..

If you really want to see all of them in one go have a look at the epic 'abortions' thread on thesamba.com -

you could be right,but what harm,its quite funny,and i for one are enjoying it!!:D

ED E

Right now, despite the blisters on my shoulders(Smart people wear suncream), I'm smiling. The aforementioned T2. Its for sale and the owner is back tonight(says a neighbour). I have left a note with contact details so hopefully it'll be reasonalby priced. And gues what, 2mins around the corner there was another one! In the small town of Lacanau near Bordeaux I wander into two, they aren't as rare as I thought. I'll let you know how it turns out. Also, if I can get the pics off my phone I'll post em but I forgot the cable :P

More funny pics please.
