I tried overtaking once, found that blind spot in the mirrors. Or rather found that mondeo in the blind spot and decided life was better spent hugging the hard shoulder. But my mirror slowly works it way down too, will have to look at it one day

We had the same conversation; bus or van. Van sounds too commercial but being a Westy is does not feel too bus like but thats my preferred term. Between us we have named her Twinkie, and the reason: It started trying to think of an American connection as she is an import. What other American...

Hi slammed, good to meet you and the family. I took a load of photos on Sunday too, they are all on Flickr. Does anyone know of a easy way to import or add them?

Uploaded a few photos from Sunday onto a Flickr album

Great day, really good to meet a couple of you guys and see some other vans and dubs. I'll try and get a couple of photos up online later today.

The only picture I've currently got is a picture I took when viewing the van

Hmmm... 10 miles away and the day after I collect my new van, could be an excuse for a drive ;)

Thinking about making this our first trip in the van, probably Saturday and Sunday. Any one I should look out for?
