    How cool are these?



    I hadn't seen or heard of them before I spotted one at Grand Designs Live earlier today (christ, what a dump Birmingham is! ).

    I thought I would come home and see if I could find one for less than £300 but not having much luck. Anyway, feast your eyes on this bad boy...

    I didn't know that? I believe they did crappy beetles (horrid cars) and Mk1 Golf cabrios in Mexico in recent years?

    Agree. They certainly don't stack up in value for money terms when compared to Skandika tents or whatever the hell they are called? lmao

    Are you having a laugh? You live in Liverpool. Come back and argue the point when you are out of prison or merely on parole.

    Altcourse or Walton more likely.

    Wayne, if you got one of those tents some daft **** in that crime ridden **** hole area you live in would probably get a a stanley knife and nick the wheels.

    Did you read about the latest guy that tried robbing a house, got stabbed and the CPS aren't pressing charges?

    That's near me. Proper men round here, not like Liverpool/Chester mard arses (why differentiate the names? Everyone knows it's the same place!).

    Chester = Toxteth with bandit screens.

    Yeah, they still make them in Brazil - there's a UK company imports and converts them. One of the ladies who works here bought one a couple of years back.

    Yeah, an exhibition based around the channel 4 TV programme about building houses.

    Best show ever (even beats Heroes, Dream Team and Mile High!). I have never seen so many Toyota Prius' in one place though, god damn eco-banging faggots.

    How much are those bad boys? I think Mk1 campers are amazing!

    EDIT: Just had a quick google and am finding a fair few recent plate 'old style' campers but they aren't split screens.
