The Dream: You buy a sparkling camper and spend the summer converting it into a Drag racer, you take it to Santa Pod where it sees off all the competition. You have hero status, butyou are beaten up by angry competitors and have to buy a stick from the shop to fight them off. There's so much action that you run out of Sanatogen.
The Reality: You buy a sparkling camper. You run out of money, the camper sits in your garage in pieces, depreciates and rusts. It springs a leak, so do you. The Mrs nags you to trade it in for something sensible, like a Zafira.... (-;
