Thought I would share a couple of pictures of Buzz, my Mini Based Jiffy Romahome. We got her in 2004, after she had been sat under a tree for two years...  More picutres of us cleaning her up are here www.jiffyregister.fotopic.net/c675322.htmlEventually we bought an awning for her, but we havent got out and about in the last couple of years due to the leaf spring snapping. The last successful outing in Newquay  Alot of work being carried out at the moment though, so fingers crossed it will be up and running by the end of May. For more pictures etc, please click the link below, thank you |

Yeas, it certainly is a shame, but there will be more chances, as I plan to use it alot more for quick weekend get-aways onces its back on the road.
Although 2009 is already fairly booked up in the summer months, I would be quite glad to get away during the later, maybe autumn months somewhere, so we shall see...
I will keep my eye open for amything going on,
Thank you,
Jiffy

Cheers for that Glen,
As you can see by the updated pictures I have done quite a bit to it in the last few months.
I am hoping to get it ready for a run to Newquay the end of May..
I wi;l; keep the pictures updated, as I take more, I have just come in from rubbing down the doors with 600 grit wet n dry paper..... Hmm!!
Cheers for now

If we had known you were coming to Colchester to pick up the Jiffy, we would have made you welcome with a nice cuppa & a slice of cake before the journey home. We have never seen vehices like that before and we see a lot in our job. Pendel

Hi Jiffy, congratulations on a great revival job, your outfit looks good. Can you tell me please where you got your awning? I have been looking everywhere for one like it. Hope to see you on site some day.
