It's a wee little Viscount Nipper, 11ft, 590kg poptop! Perfect for Lucy to tow!
Dan came with me to inspect it, and it passed.
The owner is getting it inspected, and gas cert done, and all should be ready for me to collect her when I get back from Cooloola on Thursday.
Of course, Dan can't help himself, he already has ideas of Dan-ifying it.

How exciting. You have been thinking about it for a while. You have a Dan-ifyer, I have an Andy-ifyer. At the moment, I think, it seems like I am getting several 12v outlets put in. Anyway, Its in pieces and I can only have faith. I know it wll be done properly eventually.

Beth have you sold your other trailer mate, I have been away and not seen anywhere in posts if you did.
Beth54 said

No I haven't sold her yet. But I will be, in the near future.
Jonathon, I haven't decided on a name yet, but it won't be Gypsy 2.

Hey Jules....you're just skiting about your super sales(person)ship now

Thanks Marj. One of the modifications I asked Dan for was a handle next to the door. And she's not high off the ground either, so easy for this unco person to step up.

There's some neat silver handles in Bunnings at the moment. Thought I might get a couple to put somewhere inside Myrtle as little racks, perhaps to hang a cloth or teatowel over. They are really just door handles though.
Beth54 said
05:19 PM Aug 7, 2011
Okay, I'll have a look.
I'm going up to my sisters for a couple of days tomorrow, and I'm sure they'll have suggestions too.
By the time I return on Thursday, the inspection etc should be all done, ready to collect!

She looks great Beth. You'll appreciate the extra space.

Okay, I've decided on Lulu. It was the first name that popped into my head, so Lulu it is!
Thanks Gayle. I'll have to plan a short trip for the Spring now!

I like Lulu, she suits it. Don't forget to get a sticker made up for Lulu.
