1989 Style Et Luxe KNOB VAN

[dugong]

Reverse bump start with Junkmans poorly Japanese car?

 

Tried that, before it was stuffed. Didn't leave it on for long enough and couldn't rev it up because the neighbours would have complained. 

[Noel Tidybeard]

can't you hammer a different sized one over the top?

[Conrad D. Conelrad]

To break up battery chat, here's a photo of the van at work in happier times.

Precious memories.

I CAN HAZ BUMMERY CHARRER NOW

The Shitest's way is to own a jump pack that is always flat along with a set of Dagenham market jump leads that are only capable of starting a fire.

 

By which criteria, I IZ DEFFO SHYTA!

That looks a bit like a double coffin in the back - good way to undertake (see what I did there ) your last journey if so!

[Mr_Bo11ox]

Half of this thread is illegible, never mind about whether its interesting or not!

[ruffgeezer]

Given my fickle nature, I'm sure a replacement shite c15 will be available soon.

The knob van shall rise again!

 

(Well, it might if Junkman can chivvy it back into life again).

[Partridge]

KNOB VAN cannot die. It's like Batman.

 

Nah nah nah nah nah nah KNOB VAN.

[vulgalour]

Misread that as Batfink then wondered how much of the wings on this are still like a shield of steel.

[Jim Bell]

Can this be moved to the non motoring section as per rules pls.

[Jim Bell]

I can help push if required.

[dugong]

I can help push if required.

OK, OK. We shall behave.

[Mr_Bo11ox]

Maybe just give Partridge his own show where he can cheekily write 'KNOB' over and over to his hearts content without annoying anyone.

[Junkman]

Anyway, it's on life support now, so let's see whether I can wake it from its coma later today.

[Jim Bell]

I'm preparing a YouTube link to "I am the resurrection" by the Stone Roses as we speak.

 

Come on Knobvan. You can do it. We all believe in you.

[Junkman]

It's been on the charger for 8 hours now and still can't turn over the starter.

I think it's safe to say that the battery has assumed the condition of the rest of the heap.

 

Please note: Any replacement battery must have the exact same width as the current (oh, the pun!) one,

otherwise it'll be impossible to properly mount it. The French, you know.

[ruffgeezer]

With the passing of my own chodvan. I feel it is important to.enquire as to.the status of the knobvan.

[Junkman]

Current status is SNAFU.

[Jim Bell]

It all started to go downhill once the knob of wood was ruthlessly removed. Thats where it kept its power.

[Partridge]

KNOB_VAN kryptonite? Is KNOB_VAN dead? It's not been seen for a few weeks. It's like Kim Jong Un.

I believe the knob is still in place.

Indeed, both are ugly and broken.

Drove the van again today in stunning* 1080p.

How TF do you embed a YouTube vid? Tried the special BBCode and it didn't work. 

[Richard]

You just paste in the link for the single video (rather than the playlist you posted, chop everything off from the & onwards) and it happens automatically, only on two videos per post though.

 

[scruff]

I feel like I am behind the wheel!
