When did vans go white

[NorfolkNWeigh]

Well that ' what your car colour says about you' explains everything.

Mrs N has 2 cars ; a light blue Gaylander- serene and gentle

a dog dick red CLK cab.- aggressive and mental

The problem is I prefer the aggressive mental version most of the time, ironically she drives the Land Rover more aggressively than the Merc.

Me? I drive a black car everyday- I'm in charge ,apparently... Yeah right !

I've got white, blue and red ones - consequently explains why I'm a confused individual.

Coming up from Newcastle a couple of days ago i saw a hand painted trailer with 'hualage' painted on it.

Maidstone based Gallagher group, run by Pat Gallagher since 1960 something used to have a full time sign writer. All his tippers and concrete mixers are sign written by hand. Used to do all the machines too but went to vinyl as machines get scratched and and are permanently greasy. The lorries do look smart though.

Has anyone else noticed but all the sevel vans ( boxer , relay Ducati) that aren't white the paint flakes off on nearly all of them .

"When did vans go white"

Shortly after they entered the paint chamber?

My friend had his lorries signwritten the old way. Apparently the signwriter was delighted to have a proper job to do for a change and he reckoned it doesn't even cost any more.

Our blue Ducato seems to have survived so far, and it's now 7 years old...  ditto my builder's red Relay (his second in succession).
