Sad times

[pipsyp]

Evening all,

 

My Alphie finally sold today and goes to it's new home tomorrow, so that's the end of my adventure.  Bit of a shame, bought it with the intention of doing alot of camping (and up our game), but we've just not had the opportunity to use it like we hoped.  Made no sense to keep running it as an expensive, very inefficient A to B car so it had to go.

 

Just want to say thanks to those on here who have helped with responses to my many queries over the past year or so, a really decent friendly forum.

 

It's quite possible down the line, I might have a funny 5 minutes and buy a V6, so possible it's not the last youve seen or heard of me 😆

 

Cheers

 

Paul

Ah that’s a shame. I am having the same

problem, not really getting to use it enough as a camper, life is just too busy.  Will be holding onto it a bit longer - I do love it even as an A to B car but may end up having to do the same as you & sell 🥲

Yeah it's rather a shame eh......even as a converted camper we found it made a brilliant family vehicle (so comfortable), but the appalling urban fuel economy did for it in the end.  I still think it's rather a shame Toyota never did make a Turbo Diesel variant!

 

It has however gone to a lovely home (an older, retired couple who will definitely use it as intended) so all round been for the best I think.

Hi Paul,

You've thanked others for their responses to your queries, but I'd like to thank you for your responses, which I've seen in a number of threads - always helpful!

As they say, the end of one adventure is just the beginning of another...
