Sheepskin Coat??

Bloody hell – feels like I’ve turned into a bit of a wheeler-dealer wide-boy motor-trader over the last couple of weeks. Just need the sheepskin coat to complete a professional transformation…….

As some of you know, the Team Norbar Racing (West) motorhome officially went on sale at Brands, and a bit of interest was generated in the paddock just by sticking a For Sale sign in the window, even though the sign was actually made from gaffa tape!!! Well I do race in YPM’s……

A slightly slicker sales process kicked of a week later, and blow me, the first bloke that came to see it bought it – result!!!

Wish my dad would have invested throusands in bikes and motorhomes etc to go and do motocross when I was a lad – I was lucky to have an old playing card and a clothes peg to stick in the spokes of my Raleigh Chopper……..

Anyway, with the deal done super quick, focus switched to finding a new van and a caravan, and while I was happy enough searching out a good deal for the former, the latter was a bit of an ooo-eck moment.

Fortunately Fish has been doing the van + cazza thing for quite a while now, and his advice and guidence was most appreciated, as was Shazza’s. Did’t quite expect to find something so good so quick, but hey-ho lets go, as they say in New York. If you’re a old punk…….

Less than another week later and a deal is done for a van too, so all I have to do now is move the funds around to be able to pay for everything and then go do a pick-up. Seems like the cazza will be collected actually on the way to Cadwell, so fingers crossed everything works and I don’t end up slapping the whole rig into a hedge at the first roundabout. How fast am I allowed to go on the M25 again???

Now, if I could just sell my Mini Cooper S JCW I have nice SLK350 Merc lined up, at which point me and Fish will just about have a matching set of everything – bikes, leathers (maybe…), cars, vans, cazza’s etc. Shame there’s not a bit more parity on the waistline front or racing results really…….

Laters!!!!
