How'd it go today?

[Mick!]

Got the new van ready for it's first day at work tomozz, here parked next to old faithful, chip box and sign writing to come.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Pouring rain here.

 

[SoonerFan]

If I could park on the ceiling like that I would have a whole lot more room in my garage.

Think I will give it a try...

 

[MasterBlaster]

It looks like a down under pic.

 

[Mick!]

Not upside down on my pad....why would that be?

 

[MasterBlaster]

You're holding your pad upside down.

 

[Mick!]

I didn't think that was possible.

 

[Peter]

Smiley face transits were the best, I still miss mine.

 

[Mick!]

Smiley face transits were the best, I still miss mine.

13 years of loyal service, if the new one is half as good......

 

[MasterBlaster]

HuH? It must be a Brit thing, eh?

 

[FireFighterZero]

The British use a ford van called the Transit. They bloody love the things. The smiley face must be from the way the grille looks. Just a guess.

Come to think of it, they are hot little vans, i read where they were the National get away vehicle of British bank robbers.

 

[Mick!]

You sir, have done your research, bang on!

 

[Peter]

Were the best van in the world in 1965, they were designed around an 8x4 sheet, it was possible to fit a stack of plywood or plasterboard between the wheel arches.

[Thor's Hammer]

The new sport Transit would do it in under 9:59 easily. I really want one of these...

 

[rumination]

That thing looks wicked. I want one.

 

[MasterBlaster]

I wonder why it takes forever to load?

 

[woodworkingboy]

It's a huge file that makes the forum cough, wonder how Ed got it to post?

Roller had a Brit van, I think it was in his avatar. I always wondered if there might be a swastika hanging on the inside?

 

[FireFighterZero]

It must be a culture thing. We were rather down on vans in my area, but ours were gutless. I would love to have a hot rod transit and spank some Charger on the lights!

 

[MasterBlaster]

I fixed it. It was like a 3' x 5' pic, lol.

 

[woodworkingboy]

Must be a record!

I fixed it. It was like a 3' x 5' pic, lol.

 

[Fiddler]

Stayed home today. Picked some banjer and looked around on the net for a pick-up to drive to work.

 

[squisher]

Don't get a 6l. Up here it's called the 6l burden.

 

[Dave Shepard]

They're called a 6-leaker around here.

 

[Fiddler]

I hear ya, have a 7 cyl 6.0L now.

I'm going farther and need to carry less for work now so thinking small pick-up/gas engine. Figure on getting 1/2 ton or under 4x4.
