SPOTTED

Post by Barmy » Sun Aug 08, 2010 10:25 pm

On my way home this evening i spotted a Marina van on the back of a truck, the truck was also towing a modern caravan i assume they had been to a local steam fair in Brixham & where on their way home. The van was white & i could see writing on the side most of it was too small to see from the distance i was away from it but in largish letters was ANDREWS with an initial in front of it but i didnt catch that. They were heading towards the PEN INN rounabout in Newton Abbot DEVON at about 7.15pm & guessing they went onto the A380 northbound. Anybody now this van & who ownes it,would be cool to hear if its anyone on here or if they are a MMOC member. Cheers Barmy :D :D :D

I think it was with its owner ther was a few old cars,tractors,steam engines etc going along the road at the same time so i guess people where just leaving the fair its been on for the last four days so i think they where showing the van & had stayed in the caravan for the duration of the fair. :D
