come on over if you like an old transit, you don't have to own one but most of us do. One or er, 29.........

 

Early days at the moment, but y'all are welcome!

I've been on once or twice- very friendly.When I get back to my early (french) Mk1 pickup- or the Taunus Transit, I'll get back 'on'.

Been a member for 2 and a bit years, got my Mk2 from a member as well..........even allowed to use my propper handle on that site "duncr"

[FredTransit]

Guys I think you are confusing this forum with the forum that caters for all transits. This is just for Mk1 and Mk2 classic transits Nigel and WVM, you would be welcome though!

[whitevanman]

AHH !!!!! stupid me.......now joined

[FredTransit]

OK welcome aboard mate, feel free to post what you like (within reason!)

[FredTransit]

BUMP! All welcome, you don't have to own a Mk1 or Mk2 transit, we have a few more members already.

[Father Ted]

Bloke in Kirkham has a few of them, these are just two - might be worthwhile me shoving a note under his wiper next time im passing

[FredTransit]

No please don't, I know who's they are. . He's only one of two people who I put on a 'foe' list so I don't have to read his posts..... Must be an old pic, I though he sold the Mk1 and the Mk2 is not a different colour.

Hmm, that's a little odd, the song/video's from 2001...

Not Transit related but.... when I bought my R4 van the seller told me that it had been used in a Robbie Williams video but tbh I couldn't face sitting through much on YouTube to find it.

I am sorry to tell you the van was burned out in/for the vid. The moral of the story being never SELL to a production company. Only rent, even if long term. I believe there was supposed to be some buy back deal offered, which was totally pointless as they must have had the story board by the time they bought the van. Look away now if you don't want to see it.....

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Why the fook they needed to burn it out I have no idea, it's shown for seconds in the finished film, and would not have made any difference to the story line if it had been examined by 'forensics' burnt out or not.

Cheers-had seen the video-but its not gutted so maybe it was stored somewhere afterwards.

[FredTransit]

I believe it's been scrapped mate, that's what I heard, sorry.

[Guest]

Expected so-but if you dont ask Cheers Fred

What a shame! That just reeks coolness - signwritten up for a commercial breaker
