Thanks Guys.
Well, I am back, trailer unpacked, stored, bedding in the wash, and a couple of mads planned.... nothing big, but running the small electric cooler box on the Tow vehicles 12V and Ice bricks the first day, and then the 12Volt spare battery the 2nd day.
I will do a full write up and loads of photos in a couple of days, right now I am just procrastinating, as I have my manager out tomorrow for the day with me, and I should be preparing for her.
I took a load of car pics and a few weird interest pics at the show.
THE TRAILER WAS A HIT ! ! !
Loads of people coming to take a look, chat and saying they wanted one too.
Tonight I will only post a few pics.
Firstly, before we left,I pulled over and took a pic of just how wide the trailer runs VS the VW Touran.
Next pic is where we camped at Santa Pod Raceway. Far away from the noise, and close to the edge of the field.
This is Nicola with her first cuppa tea from the galley. Well Chuffed.
I have to also make a confession at this point.
I Love Nicola, she makes the whole Teardrop Trailer thing worthwhile, my days are so much better for having her in them.
We spent the weekend as always with Dave "Oldbus" , Thorsten, Michael, Ulla and Dave's son Christian, older son Alex has final exams on Monday, so could not make this years trip.
As always the weekend was too short, and I had work on my mind.
The Grizz-Pod did however get it's first rain test, and it was not a force 9 gale, but certainly a decent half hour or more of solid rain.
NO LEAKS TO REPORT !!
This was what the skies looked like just as it opened up to start tipping it down.
Next up a couple of pics for the American Teardroppers.
Without whose help and motivation I would have been in more trouble than I care to admit.
Thanks to Teardrops and Tiny Travel Trailers, as well as Tearjerkers.
Santa Pod was a WWII air station, with American presence.
Here is a memorial stone to all those who made the greatest sacrifice.
This pic gets the Stars and Stripes in the background of the Grizz-Pod - Perfect.
A salute to the origins of my trailer.
One pic for Chris Squier - Teardrop-Focus.
Here is a modded Ford Focus for you.
And one for the rest of us..... Huge V8 and very fast down the strip.
Love the writing on the rear.
Lastly, we had a delay of about 40 minutes on the way back, with stop and start traffic.
At one point on the Dartford Bridge we stopped completely, wich made for a very quick, one shot photo opportunity.
And what a lucky shot, taken with the camera pointed rearward in my hand, and no focus.
Great pic to end the 220 mile maiden trip of the Grizz-Pod with.
The rest of the pics to be posted later this week.
I guess I cannot do a quick report.
Rest to follow soon, if you guys Want to see more.
