After all the fun I've been having decking out mother dearest's Coaster, I have some grand yet vague plans to deck out my own small van to be able to be used for the odd week away here and there. I have enjoyed hearing the stories of fun, drinks, and general comraderie among the people here on the forum.......

We are in the middle of the biggest storm we have had this year so far. The rain is almost horizontal and coming down in buckets. Thunder but no lightning yet. Think the temperature dropped 10 degrees in a matter of minutes It's heading north so look out Nowra and beyond.
