Talbot Posted March 21, 2018 Posted March 21, 2018 Look at all that lovely access space behind the engine!! That has to be the most space I have ever seen around an XUD. If I was in the market for anything even remotely van-shaped, I'd be very interested in this. However. GLWTS. (I guess a £25-a-ticket Roffle is unlikely to work...)
alcyonecorporation Posted March 21, 2018 Posted March 21, 2018 Rumour has it that the last time the Knob Van changed hands, sale had to be arranged via an intermediary individual as both vendor and buyer had previous and were liable to inflict serious violence upon each other should they meet. Good job it's a red van - doesn't show the blood stains! Yeah, I'm not sure I like what you're implying here and it won't do the sale of FOAD's van any good. It's a pretty crap attempt at humour regardless. I wouldn't know anything about that, maybe best getting the full story from Jon. I don't recognise that series of events and Scott doubtless won't either. It's true we've had our differences in the past but they're long since settled. The sale wasn't arranged via an intermediary, it was taken up to FOAD by Red5 in exchange for a Tata Loadbeta. FOAD had been speaking to me about the van on and off directly via Facebook and we agreed an amount after the third unsuccessful eBay auction (and given the chronic amount of idiots and timewasters I'd encountered trying to sell it). Two deals fell through before FOAD decided to buy it. The van lived in Cambridgeshire and it needed towing up to Fife. Red5 was closer than Scott, he wanted the van, Red 5 wanted the Tata. A deal was struck. Good business. Watch the tone of your comments, please. Lacquer Peel and Coprolalia 2
alcyonecorporation Posted March 21, 2018 Posted March 21, 2018 Who was the teller of the tale? Yeah, seconded.
alcyonecorporation Posted March 21, 2018 Posted March 21, 2018 Ah well, he appears to have logged off for the night. Did someone make a film adaptation neither of us have seen?
Talbot Posted March 21, 2018 Posted March 21, 2018 Regardless of what happened with the previous sale, that was really rather funny! Speaking of "what happened with". Where did that Loadbeta end up? I had a hankering for that and wanted to keep an eye on where it is! alf892 1
Carlosfandango Posted March 21, 2018 Posted March 21, 2018 Great van. Bloody love these. Good luck with the sale! CFD alcyonecorporation 1

Conrad D. Conelrad Posted March 22, 2018 Posted March 22, 2018 Uh, I think I was the source of the tale. IIRC there had been some mild barbs between Alcyone and FOAD in the latter's thread and I made some stupid joke about the transaction/transport being like a cold war prisoner exchange. I'm sorry if I caused any offence. a pretty crap attempt at humourPlease don't quote my epitaph. artdjones, Lacquer Peel, alcyonecorporation and 10 others 13
