I do, a Mercedes 307D Motorhome However, it is simple, bulletproof and gets me to whichever race meeting I am going to..............eventually.

gotta hand it to you OG, you're giving the right answers. It's nice to see a relaxed approach to travel and life in general.

I do think, though that your MB 307 is probably a very nice example of mobile living when you choose to take advantage of it.

The way you've put it is in a kind of 'Matthews Southern Comfort ""Woodstock"" " kind of way.

I also imagine that it's powered by MB's three litre straight six non turbo diesel unit. If it is powered as such then you've got a lovely and relaxed diesel drive with comfort added.

Kind regards,

Paul Anderson.

Hi Paul

Correct. It is also LHD but I don't plan to overtake much so this isn't a problem

It was owned for most of its life by a Mercedes employee so has been well looked after..

Relax on the way to the event, no tent to put up, all facilities to hand, even satellite TV. Take friends and crew with no need for extra vehicles. Go mad on the track then load up and relax with a cuppa while the rest fight to get out of the place, then pootle home. Doesn't get much better.

Looking forward to spending many weekends at the Pod and Shakespeare next year.

Steve
