Your chance to join the Palomino club

And as I crawl out from my box packed with straw like a Blue Peter tortoise, I find the chance for one lucky bidder to join the Palomino club! Oh Yes!

Tom's been spotting palominos hiding in the background of photos of inferior campers! Like here

headless

Gemma has sent in pictures of her purple palomino.





Meanwhile, on the fabulous tat bazaar that is ebay, someone has beheaded a Palomino and is selling the roof! I suppose if you wanted to convert an inferior van to a Palomino, this would be an excellent starting point.

Polly's prize progress

Kate and Guy have been doing up their camper Polly.



As you can see, they're keeping an eye on the ebay camper with the hope of getting some original curtains, but with her custom cushion, and by the look of it, a great deal of cleaning, Polly's showing some great progress. So much so that her and her friends at demon dubs won the best group show and shine prize at dubstock over the weekend.



Well done Polly!

Palominos in the summer

The slightly shabby Palomino that went unsold on ebay a few months back is for sale again, by someone else. They make the rather dubious claim that "the interior is still in pretty much original condition". If you want to see how ludicrous this is, take a look. But if you're desperate for a Palomino, there's a buy it now of five grand.

Meanwhile, at Glastonbury, where I terribly failed to meet up with Adrian and Clare, Pippa was spotting Palominos in the camper field.

Pippa wins a prize

Pippa has won a letter of the month prize from Camper and Bus magazine. It's a polishing kit, so it sounds more like punishment to me.

Polly the T25 Palomino

Kate and Guy have bought the T25 Palomino, built in 1982, recently seen on ebay. Here she is.




Unlike the T2 Palomino, the T25 appears to come with a bar in the roof, holding the sides out. Kate and Guy have used this to support a kid's bed, as their model came without the bunks.
