Available in blue or red, you get all the small pieces (plus screwdriver and instructions) that will undoubtedly test your patience as the nights draw in. But if you have the time and an eye for detail, you'll be rewarded with a working model featuring a die-cast metal body, opening doors, pull back and go motor, bolts, lights and dashboards. And the feeling of pride that comes with a job well done. Available online, you can pick one up for £7.99. To see it for yourself click here.

Hats off to anyone who has a go I say! After reading his comment I took another look at Camper Van Crisis, the TV programme I'd spotted. Nigel Isted's accounts of restoring a camper is a bit out of date now, but still worth a look I've been spotting campers all over the TV lately. Jamie (pukka tukka) Oliver has one (the one he took to Italy) lurking in the background in the outside shots of his latest TV Show: Jamie at home (or whatever it's called). I also spotted some great ones in a film: Almost Famous, set in the 60s. No pix of the campers but you can't have everything!]]> http://campervan.welshblogs.co.uk/2007/09/dans_the_man.html http://campervan.welshblogs.co.uk/2007/09/dans_the_man.html Camper links Fri, 28 Sep 2007 12:30:59 +0000 this report is anything to go by - her hearse was a vintage camper van!
