First trip in Vera

After purchasing Vera we had to wait two weeks until we were able to hit the road. When the time finally came, we were in convoy with the previous owners Cam and Lucy who recently purchased a 1984 T3 Trakka. We also had Hugh on his 1988 Sr 500 which made it feel like we were stepping back in time, with our 92 the newest of the batch.

We took it slow enjoying the perfect weather. Despite Madi getting a little sun kissed from the lack of window tinting, the glorious drive to Treachery Campground went by without a hiccup.

Once arriving at the campground we set up and took ownership of a large patch. We set up our awnings which easily housed the rest of the crew for the weekend.

When heading home we flew back with the windows down, listening to Hugh as he did fly bys showing off this power to weight ratio compared to our vans. Vera didn’t miss a beat, sitting easily on 110km/h unlike my previous 1600cc VW Beetle which liked to sit around 90Km/h.

Once we arrived home we unpacked and started planning what the next project was for the van.
