Show notes 207
Added 2024-04-21 17:01:01 +0000 UTCHello again. And what do we have in the show notes this week? Well, in pictures we start with the VW California borrowed by Jonny followed by the man himself cooking inside it and the small window through which, he would like to make clear, he did not relieve himself in the middle of the night. He only thought about it. Then we have the comically narrow-tracked 1980s Hymer motorhome he might settle for, a picture of a good old fashioned caravan jackknifing, in this case featuring a Rover 75, and some of the dragster stance Brazilian trucks Jonny mentioned.
No picture of the Eagle limo yet because you've all seen the ones from the ad before and we haven't picked up the real thing yet. Don't worry, it's going to happen in the next couple of weeks.
Now, some links…

An article about making stable caravans if you’re really that interested
A short video giving possible reasons for those Brazilian trucks

My uncle had a mk3 capri 1.3 (yes you got them) and he actually climbed into the engine bay to change the radiator. My cousin couldn’t in his 3:0 mk1 😂

2024-04-23 13:32:58 +0000 UTCJonny, I knew you were on the Monsal trail when you did that Late Brake Show trailer video 🤣😂 Hopefully you make it to Matlock Bath next time you are this way (the chips and ice cream will be on me😉)

2024-04-23 06:30:33 +0000 UTCRegarding campervan chat, Johnny, you need to build your own! I bought a lwb Sprinter, stripped it out and kitted it out how we wanted it. It's only a holiday vehicle but easily fits down lanes, car parks etc.

Helen Morris
2024-04-22 20:24:13 +0000 UTCThink the merch shop needs new stickers.my other car is a eagle quest 🤣
Kyle Ayres
2024-04-22 19:25:08 +0000 UTCJonny, stick some Hymer badges on the Eagle Quest and buy a drive-away awning 🤔 A few years ago I bought a K plate Coleman Molne converted Saab 9000 6 door limo, totally on impulse and ended up dailying it for about 6 months, I used it for commuting, picking up unusually long lengths of timber from B&Q and I did sleep in it a couple of times. I justified it to my wife as "sensible family transport", I'm not sure she was convinced.

2024-04-22 17:01:19 +0000 UTCWe had a 1987 VW Camper Westfalia Hochdach. Bloody brilliant fun, but dangerously underpowered and unreliable. This is us stuck at the top of the Gotthard Pass. https://zoona.co.uk/files/JOY/gotthard.jpg The beauty of something this size is that you can take it into town, and it is no bigger that a normal estate car. When we moved to the US, we hired a 34' thing with a ford v10. WAY too big. unpleasnat to drive and impossible to manouver. We looked at the GMC and also the airstream (like off of the NASA astronaut van https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astronaut_transfer_van) Go small is my advice. You don't need a shitter inside your aluminium/cardboard box...

2024-04-22 14:10:02 +0000 UTCJohnny have you thought about the Japanese camper angle such as the Toyota camroad or a hiace based van?
Ben Halloran
2024-04-22 13:39:53 +0000 UTCHaving hired a few T6 camper vans in recent years, I can confirm it’s impossible to go for a slash outside without waking everyone else up. And somehow you always need to go in the middle of the night when you’re camping…
Scott
2024-04-22 11:39:24 +0000 UTCIt's not a Hymer, but it's in Stamford, it's ex-mayoral, and it's a Sherpa. Jonny I've whatsapp'd you some snaps with a bit of a back story.

2024-04-22 11:02:57 +0000 UTCThe absolute nonsense of the Brazilian style trucks has reached this podcast. The reason for being for safety is bull… They just like it. It’s a style thing…

2024-04-22 10:53:12 +0000 UTCThe cash rich time poor Omega service scenario reminded me of the Four Seasons Total Landscaping fiasco with the trump campaign calling "four seasons" to arrange a press conference expecting a luxury hotel and ended up with a landscaping business and for some reason persisting with it resulting in those incredible photos of Rudolph Giuliani....
David H
2024-04-22 10:34:29 +0000 UTCJust need to put this out there, on that side of things: The collection of the Eagle Quest really deserves a video, maybe with a lunch stop at Baldock Services...
Snowy
2024-04-22 10:21:56 +0000 UTCMy mind keeps interpreting that first truck photo like it's emergency stopping, I can;t see it any other way.

2024-04-22 08:55:54 +0000 UTCOr the Eagles
Howard Rose
2024-04-22 07:25:27 +0000 UTCWould be excellent if the eagle quest was previously owned by A Tribe Called Quest
Oliver Q
2024-04-22 07:05:29 +0000 UTCJonny can't buy a Hymer it's the least Woollardable vehicle known to man, even if parked up basically in Nottingham

2024-04-22 05:19:23 +0000 UTCI've just seen a picture of an Eagle Quest. WTF are you thinking??!
Anthony
2024-04-21 21:39:49 +0000 UTCI, for one, am looking forward to Jonny doing an ASMR Insta video on the Eagle Quest.

2024-04-21 19:20:39 +0000 UTCI think I already pay above the £1 and even above the new £2 set. I am trying to check

2024-04-21 17:56:04 +0000 UTCGeezer round the corner has two limo and two hearses and the cut off back of a hearse either in his front yard or parked on the street. You need an eagle quest fleet just ask him.
Chris Oxford
2024-04-21 17:36:59 +0000 UTCYeah a bottle required for some "Campers Champagne"

2024-04-21 17:18:49 +0000 UTCMicturating out the window? Gross. What you need is a Liptonice or Oasis bottle - nice wide neck so's you can get even a semi-tumescent appendage in with air gap to spare.
