Yeah loads of 911's and bigger around, some of them fantastic. Nice to find somrthing slower than my Iveco. Met a dutch one (the one with the dartboard on the back) in Lux - taking advantage of the lower diesel price and filling up its 500 litre tank

Do you mean the one with all the south american plates on the cab - only spoke to them to ask about the step they were using

Hi,

Just read your postl, we hauled across in the car for the Saturday, really cool gathering. Would have taken Defender but spent previous 3 weeks breaking down in various countries around baltic. Great how many people share ideas and are happy to show you round what they have done.

HI Rich
yeah the one with the plates on the top of the cab,
they have a amazing truck, they dont get out of thier beds unless its 20c inside, its a 5 star hotel room on wheels.
they just had a normal step system when we saw them but just heard they went back to ormocar for modifications
big tank for a 911, we averaged 18lts per 100kms for all of south america glad we dont have it back here would kill us in diesel.

when are you next off travelling

did you get ?
'nessie' - did you guys buy another vehicle yet ?
sorry we didn't get to see each other in UK but well time just elapsed !

dave, you were thinking of an iveco, is that a firm commitment yet ?

there's a small van style (exactly same as mine) for good price in i think portsmouth or southampton. It looks nice spec for the money. Check the yahoo group for a posting about a month back.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
