Random Ice Cream Van Thread

[Father Ted]

I was trying to find the thread where on the same day as I was visiting a beach near Tenby someone else visited the same beach and took a photo of an ice cream van Range Rover (and inadvertantly a photo of my Mother in Law). But I cant.

 

Anyway - on the BBC's website at the mo is this rather nice Nostalgic Trip Down Memory Lane of the Ice Cream Van and its chocc (ice) full of old shite vans.

 

Enjoy

I'll have to watch that when I get home.

 

In the meantime, here's a ridiculous Rascal-based ice cream peddler that I spotted inexplicably dumped in Greece last year.

Oh man. I wanna go to Greece, somehow recommission that monstrosity and drive back here via most of europe!

Random roadtrips in shitters ftw.....

There's often a Hustler Ice cream van at North Berwick. This one in fact.

[Captain Mainwaring]

How ace!

Has anyone seen this?

Ayrian Ice Cream. Only has vanilla.

[Father Ted]

Ahh, Seth has emailed me THAT picture of the Mother in Law (and ice cream van).

At some point I'll fish through my photos of that holiday as there were a couple more pics - but for now the combo of photos being on an external drive and me being on nights means it will have to wait.....

The ultimate Autoshite ice cream van?

 

[Vin]

Possibly, although I reckon the Fiat 850T ice cream van that Hirst posted a few weeks ago, would give it a run for the money....

[Father Ted]

Price = £1231.00

 

Do you get a flake with that?

[eddyramrod]

I'm sure I've posted this before, but this seems an appropriate moment to air it again. It's still there, in my friend's field near Paphos...

Tsilivi, Zante. It was accompanied across the yard by a derelict 205 which, I was told, has been there for at least 15 years. I've got some pics somewhere.

Someone probably picked it up cheap on Ebay, drove it around Europe for a bit, then left it where & when it broke.

Shepherd's are still using that Marina. Some of the paintwork inside is bright yellow; I wonder if it's ex-BT.

 

[worldofceri]

Took this only yesterday. DVLA thinks it's a 1335cc dizzler. Perhaps it is.

This immaculate CF serves ice cream on the quay at Appledore, North Devon. The ice cream is every bit as tasty as the van

[Andrew353w]

There's no better ice cream than Hocking's ice cream, from Appledore, near Bideford. Particularly when it's bought from this.....

 

 

They don't use it all the time, but it does work and it IS used! Hey!!!

[Wilko220]

Have a Transit...

 

[Tayne]

That's no transit.

 

I would have said AmphiRanger but its not quite right for that either.

...or simply started getting suicidal at the thought of having to drive it all the way back!

[Wilko220]

My mistake - I thought it was a converted mk2 Tranny!

It's a one-off created for Cadbury's

13 year old thread...

Ever wondered what an American ice cream van looks like? Wonder no more!

Well spotted, the first of these three don't actually sell ice creams. But they're all like this; walk-thru vans- mainly Grumman Olson. They are EVERYWHERE in Washington DC and seem to use the world's noisiest generators. Typically petrol powered main engines, a few more modern ones are diesel 4 pot.
