For those towing bigger caravans you could always go for one of those modern tear drop shaped campers, or a small caravan such as an Eriba Puck www.eriba.com/en/models/caravans/eriba-t...n-eriba-touring.html
Or a Gobur folding caravan for less wind resistance goburcaravans.co.uk/our-pre-owned-stock/
I’d thought of the latter myself in the past for towing behind my classic car. Very expensive though.

Wish I was going rather than back and forwards to Gateshead (work).


QE?

Not too far from me.

I not too long ago moved from Windy Nook (round the corner from the QE) and was frequently in and out the QE with work.

This probably contributed to your head gasket failing though mate!

Or it's a general consequence of 105 thousand miles. Either way I caught it early enough for the car to be still in a drivable condition. She was only immobile because of parts supply and covid19. I love my Dreadnaught!

With all thel lockdown related grass cutting that's been taking place the pollen count for the last two months has been High to unbearable. The better half is suffering accordingly, so to ease her pain I have ordered a pollen filter from Martin to fit in our Jimny. I decided to take a look to check I could remove the cover (just in case I broke it) and see if it had one fitted.
As expected it did not, however the matrix and filter box contained a surprising amount of pollen related debris and potential bird nests !!
Just think whats been blowing in our faces.


This is what remained after the majority fell into the foot well after removing the cover !

Do they have a pad for your bum to sit on? Can't figure out what the raised bit is for on the front edge of the seat.
Forgive my ignorance as I am a road biased, so not sure sometimes what I am looking at with off road kit

That front leg bolster is to stop you sliding forward under the seatbelt in a sudden stop. It's known as submarining. It's less of an issue with a 5 point harness with a strap between your legs.

They come with a pad,but the step in the front is way to much for my needs
So just in the process of making a new base,this will fill the gap level and make them more comfortable for my needs ;)
