Hello from the UK - Wesleyp777 - 08-16-2021

Hello all from sunny UK! I bought a 2004 newell coach about a year ago, some nice history belonging to Jimmie Johnson NASCAR driver in the states then bought by Jenson button (F1 DRIVER) and shipped over to Europe for the remainder of its life.

It’s a lovely coach and just about getting my head around all the bits on it! 
Looking forward to learning more!

very cool. i love the opposing couches.

does it have valid or hwh slides? i see it does not appear to have a steerable tag.

what is it like driving on those narrow uk roads?

Congrats on purchasing #706. A quad Valid slide coach, with front entry, ZF suspension. 706 is 45'10" long per the VIN. Should have the Detroit Series 60 500 HP engine with the Allison 6-speed World Transmission. I know it has the rear bath. Does it have a half bath also?

Welcome to the Forum.

I'm trying to wrap my head left hand drive in a right hand drive world, exiting the coach into traffic, narrow roads of the UK (I know, stereo typing). I have trouble with all of that in the wild, wide open, west lol.

I like the layout.  A Newell in the UK is rarity for sure.
