'Scuse me soir, would yer loike yer droive tarmacing?

[Cavcraft]

Got a bit bored with one of the recent(ish) rides so decided to give it some gyp(po).

Laughing in the face of stupid things like a matching lock set or a 'non-blood donor' style paint scheme I sort of thought the, erm, 'travelling' look was the way forward.

Cue some full length fliers, tasty chrome backed blue tinted (24V!) spotlights (which work on all settings such as park and high beam), a CB (waste of time, no fucker on it anymore), a big bastarding whippy aerial and a nice olde English 'ENGLAND' decal for the roof.

 

Considering the 'if you can't beat 'em, join 'em' mentailty was probably the right one it's already earned some of it's keep by clearing out the shite in my garage plus some old cookers etc and a trip to the scrap metal yard was boxed off...

 

 

I'm now sort of thinking a 'Don't laugh, your daughter might be inside' sticker might be a good idea and some HGV stylle big fuck off mudflaps for the rear could be a winner too.

 

It goes very well indeed but sems to want an extra gear when in top, but it'll pull well past 70mph (probably ) and still want to some more and is useful for tat collections.

 

Shite enough do you think?

[pogweasel]

Horrible. Ex-Morrison one assumes?

[andrew e]

Not proper "DAGS" spec till there is a PAYG number on the side

[dollywobbler]

Pretty horrible, but I bet people get out of your way!If the CB's any good, I might need one for a certainly silly Citroen roadtrip...

[Cavcraft]

Lord knows. Took it in as it was but it's DEFFO HAD A REPAINT M8.*Edit: Dollywobbler no problem if you want to borrow it. You can talk to Philip all the way through France if you so desire

[pogweasel]

My dad had one of these from work, it was impressively crap, given that it was only 5 years old at the time - floor was rotten, axle whined more than a woman on rag week, it smoked more than a Huntingdon Life Sciences Beagle, but it was well class. Indestructible. Well, better at least than the uttely grim Bedford Midi that preceeded it.

[Father Ted]

Ian - make sure said CB is Mids not Muppets or will be fookin useless in France.Billy - thays kwolity metal that is. Gonna PM you about the Golf too in a bit..

Do you love Emma Bunton?

Try these for the van

[/img]

And this for the passengers seat

Sorted

[Justin Case]

A good start, but I would ditch the spots and add a large rust and grey primer roofrack and stick-on 'Tree Butchery Services' signs on all doors.

[Cavcraft]

Even I couldn't love a Midi. But I might get one one day as my desire to own the worse possible vehicles ever made gets stronger by the week.This (Transit) seems pretty solid to be fair even though there's evidence of splodge in the arches. It's not quite as nice to drive as the SWB one I had before but the back is large, it sits nice and high even with a load on and has six stud wheels. Which are better than five in the pub bore stakes. Usual Transit traits of heater only working on one setting (full twat) and moth eaten driver's seat but diff seems ok, it starts first crack and it has a reversing bleeper just to announce to my neighbours that I'm home.

[Father Ted]

Hey - GR8 idea, I have two fucking enormous silver birches need chopping down when your ready...

[andrew e]

I can pikey trump you, my works van was a SWB 6 STUD 150. Only the english plates shattered the Illusion, I even had a dixonbate pin hitch on the back

[Cavcraft]

Keep the ideas coming please I'm actually ROFLING at them! I do have one of those chrome naked bird things somewhere and perhaps a 'Haulin' ass' chrome badge thing would work?Had considered turning this into the next 'Fanny Batter Gardening Services' vehicle incidentally as the old AX van was massive fun but it's too close to the last time I did it.Father Ted, standing by pm's but off to bed soon to dream about the delectable Emma Bunton and Katie Melua.

[pogweasel]

off to bed soon to dream about the delectable Emma Bunton and Katie Melua.

I assume that you are not filing Melua under delectable. I would file that pointless bint under 'deletable'.

[autohausdolby]

Oh God, SRSLY, I actually shut the doors to my garage when I'm at work and something that looks like that rolls into the yard (6 times a day on average). "It's me, dat comes for der cats and der batteries. Is der gaffa in?"Scarily convincing. GREAT4VOSA PATROLS

[Station]

That red stripe is ready for an Engerland flag?

[AnthonyG]

I would have thought proper 'gypos' would prefer an Irish or Romanian flag?

[FredTransit]

You are so last week! Here's your list

 

Chrome A bar

 

Chrome number plate surround

 

Bonnet Bra

 

Light bar

 

[Cavcraft]

A-bar and light bar yes please. Chrome number plate surrounds, wikkid bodykits, stupid American eagle stickers, bonnet bras and bonnet bulges are a massive no-no. And I have less taste than most

[FredTransit]

Chrome number plate surround are classic traveller badge, not chav!

[andrew e]

How about chromed horse shoes?

[FredTransit]

Yep, possibly trucker, goes with the chrome naked lady.....

[trigger]

 

This is class!, So much better than honk if you bonk stickers!.
