Time to get out of the 80's

[burnercan]

After many years and many miles, an intercontinental move means I'll be without my beloved '84 T3 Westy for a while.. What better time to join the world of power steering, power windows and adaptive cruise control?

I've been trolling here for a few weeks whilst trying to convince myself not to do it, but thus have failed and the order has been placed. In about 33 weeks eek we'll be getting a nice new T6 Beach 150 DSG 4M.

So greetings all!

Congratulations.

New get some pics of this westie up!

Glad she has a place, under wraps, to hide while we are away! Looking forward to the new one, but the kids have already complained (sight unseen) that it won't have the luggage rack to stand on for photo shoots and sight seeing.

Love the t3, but with a young family you can't beat a bit of comfort and reliability.

Having just been reminded that you have a yellow beach @ roadrunner, were you in a car park adjacent to the river Severn marina (jnc of A4440 and A38) on outskirts of Worcester on the Sunday of Busfest? On my way from Malvern to the M5 I was looking over the bridge and there was a bright yellow beach, a bit hard to miss.
If it wasn't you then someone else has the same awesome taste in beach colouration as you. Can't be that many around.

@DaveyB not me though I do drive though on the A44 frequently

The other night I watched a load of vids on YouTube of a guy with a Westy Syncro going around Europe. By the end of it I was seriously thinking of getting rid of the T6 and getting one because I absolutely love them, but as I laid in bed thinking about it I realised it had broken down in every video...

Touché. Though, I tend to look at it like this: I have shoes for dancing and shoes for hiking. It's true the hiking shoes are a wee bit stinkier and require more repairs, but I've gotta have both!

Only time will tell if my (as yet embryonic) T6 will live to be a Frankenstein old-timer that will continually be brought back to life when it dies. I hope so, but I'm bit doubtful.

Yep, if you can afford to keep both then you have the best of both worlds, I'm very envious

Not a dig at all by the way, I've fancied a T3 since being smitten with this one I saw parked outside Colditz castle a few years ago
