I'm trying to convince myself to travel from Teesside to Northampton in a Series II
That would be easy although I'm not sure I'd be convinced to go back again ;-) (Midlander at heart)

With a few bits of gaffa tape, mine made it to Gambia in January... Northampton really isn't that far!

Maybe so but the colour schemes need to be tamed down a bit otherwise it might look like a spread from the Teddy Bears picnic :wink:

AND what might you be referring to.....?

U got a problem with pink or Teddy Bears? :evil:

PS Possible to paint tents now. Not sure if they have to be made of a certain fabric. Could be some interesting moggy related designs............
