Actually it awkward looking
Pretty sure transporter hq have taken the new badge for their resent build but had to be tweaked to fit?? Could have been from another Vw mind
Taken our nipper to an 'offer holders day' at Worcester College Oxford. I'm in shock at £24.20 to park for a few hours!
Robbing Southerners!

Car Park prices are taking the absolute Micturition. Together with at first London Charge,s then all the other cities that will be following. Wales parking near to beaches charging addition fees for even staying in Wales. Even if one lives is Wales or the very same County. Ridiculously slow speed limits. Might as well stay at home or go abroad by plane and luxuriate on the very thoughts of how much polluting gases one may have generated for even a single flight.We are supposed to be a free country.

Congrats to nipper on the offer!
I use Pear Tree Park and Ride if I’m going back down to Oxford.
Great idea for next time, she's only got to get 3 A's!
I spent an hour laying underneath our van again today trying to suss where our oil leak is coming from 
....
Cleaned every trace of oil off the engine bay and underneath and the belly pan is staying off so I can see exactly what is happening more closely .

We’ve been away for the last two weekends in a row, taking advantage of the good weather.
As they say “make play while the sun shines”…
Last weekend we popped round to Kintyre (the south-west of Argyll… yes that phallic one…). It basically means Land’s End - from Gaelic ‘Ceann Tìre’. A day trip and walk on the wee island of Gigha and then a quiet overnight in a wee car park right on the south end, before a visit to the Mull of Kintyre lighthouse.
Cue Paul McCartney…
And then this weekend we headed down to Dumfries(shire), cracking beers in a very cool wee taproom, unbelievably good value fishy dinner at an old school cool Scottish-Italian cafe/fish & chips/ice cream emporium, free park-up overnight at ancient Sweetheart Abbey, a climb up Criffel, a heavenly campervan overnight on the Nith estuary, and a walk and a visit to (unusual triangular!) Caerlaverock castle before heading home.
(Dumfries and Galloway is ridiculously underrated!!)

We did the SW300 in October last year in 4 days/3 nights. Loved it, but we didn't give ourselves enough time - will have to give it a more leisurely go next time.
What we noticed, other than the great sceney, was how empty the roads were; how smooth the road surfaces were; how reasonable the cost of eating out was; and how just about all the public WCs were clean, well-kept, had running hot water and were free.
It was like stepping back in time by 50 years.
We didn’t finish it… gotta say that my wife didn’t pull her weight!
