Wanted - Perth bay for big trip
Kellster - November 16th, 2005 at 01:30 AM

Am planning on doing a lap of honour round Oz in the early part of next year to celebrate our emigration from the UK

Was originally thinking it of doing it in a split - more for romance than practicalility, but after seeing a couple of splits last week we've come round to the idea of doing it in a bay.

Soooooo - does anyone know of a really solid bay that is up to (or could easily be made ready for) a big trip, located in Perth? We want something that is already fitted out with a camping interior and pop top. Obviously it has to be sound mechanically, and good bodywork (although doesn't have to be a show pony)

(oh, and no shabby backpacker vans)

Am flexible on price - will pay for the right bus

Any suggestions?

Thanks - have been checking it online and have my folks out there who are checking the paper edition until we get out at the end of the year. Just wondered if anyone knew of anything good that was up for sale...

I'll keep an ear open for anything you might be interested in and let you know how that goes..
When are you needing to have this car..???

We're arriving on 1st January and hoping to head off mid-January. Time to do servicing/repairs etc for the trip, but nothing too involved.

Have got VW savvy rellos in Perth who can check out anything that comes up before then.

thanks for your help

Can't believe that nobody knows of any good WA buses - where are they all hiding??? :cry
