Hello everyone,
it's that time of the year again ...
Marvin's praying for good weather because he's looking to leave Germany for another three-week-or-so UK road trip in less than two weeks. This time I'll have my folding bike attached to the roof rack so it will actually be used instead of merely kept folded and covered behind the driver's seat like last year Set up works and looks like this at the moment:
Please excuse the ridiculous bonnet star substitute, but the trident was stolen a few months ago and I couldn't yet be bothered to pay some 60€ for a new one (any proper ones with a 201 part number [important] to be found in the UK?) since there have been quite a few other things that needed to be sorted out like a new head gasket in March or new reinforced coil springs which still need to be mounted so I don't get stuck in the Cornish prairie looking for some remote overnight accomodation ...
Also I have taken out the passenger's seat and the cr4p in the rear and put in a wooden board with some 2 inch plastic foam which makes for a nice bed - better than a tilted seat, that is. I'll post some pics of the finished interior once it's done, but to get an idea ...
Bought some cloth as well to cover the chassis parts:
Still need to build a few minor things and some handy stuff but apart from that I'm ready to go on another adventure ... I just hope I'll be having fair weather again (I was lucky 3 times already ) otherwise I might end up in northern Spain or southern France or somewhere else, but those places don't quite speak to me the way the Great Britain does So I'm actually just praying for some sunshine 'cause I don't wanna go anywhere else
See you soon
Marvin
