Doesn't look like a galvanised chassis from the pictures, it looks identical to my 110xs one, still I don't suppose you'd know until it was shipped to the states! Some 'nice' pricing of some of the stock - good luck to them, some one will pay extra to have something 'different' I guess.

Are you on your way yet? Looks like lots of snow in Northern France at the moment looking at the weather.

They get away with it because there is always some mug willing to pay extra for a ringer. the interesting point is the the authorities in the USA have wised up and started impounding some of these ringers when they try and get imported to the US.

I will have some things posted to me and I still need to sort out everything inside, it's a disaster at the moment as I just threw everything into the back on the mattress to catch a ferry from Dover!!

Those boys need to learn to tidy up !
Which end does your head go whilst sleeping as I would imagine the fridge will be quite noisy. Good luck in your travels |

Just got into Parma, Italy. Ended up sleeping in the back of the Defender last night which was interesting to say the least. It was freezing and I haven't organized my stuff yet, so I was crammed on one side of the mattress. Also I hadn't taken the plastic off yet, so it wasn't exactly comfortable, and I managed not to close the rear door completely, so I wasn't exactly warm  but I made it through the night and I'll sort out my stuff soon..
More pics and the like coming soon My Travel Page |
