Hi
We live in the UK near to Stratford upon Avon. We have a VW T4 fixed High top campervan 1996 with a non turbo 5 cylinder 2.4 diesel. We travel around Scotland and Wales with our dog ( Elsie)

This is our second T4 and I'm currently modifying it to suit our needs as our budget allows. I'm looking forward to reading about various trips and post about some of our travels.

Welcome from Norway, a non turbo T4 sounds painfully slow, I'm actually looking to buy a T4 or T5 tdi myself in a few months.

Hi. It's certainly not a racing machine, but for low down tractor like grunt it's a winner. :) It will however cruise at 70mph on the motorway, just takes it's time to get there. ha ha. I think i read somewhere that the army other there were selling on their T4 syncro's. That would make a good project.

Thank you for the welcome. We did the NC500 a few years ago in the autumn to avoid the dreaded midges. As a winter trip it sound interesting, not sure my VW is suitably equiped yet for a snow trip. I'm gradually preparing it for the colder climates as our dream destination is Sweden and Norway.
