    my 1971 danburyfalia pop top project

    Here is my new drive to inspire me on to finish the bus. it took a lot of digging, we even replced the main water feed to the house and layed new drains while it was dug out but that memory is now distant

    Olive & Biddy - | Fantastic CamperJam weekend |

    another great idea would be, instead of simple adjusters on a beam replace the central spring retainer with a sprocket and drive it up and down with a motor driven worm screw. then you could run quality sport suspension shocks etc but have the adjustability to raise it up for speed bumps, fields...

    Olive & Biddy - | Fantastic CamperJam weekend |

    the best idea would be if someone could produce a bag system that allows the beam to be lowered or raised into the bus (ie moving the position that the beam bolts to the bus) then the geometries would remain the same as the rod and travel etc would stay fixed. come on guys, it can't be the hard ;)

    I think its getting aired next July. It basically follows 15 different house owners doing up their dream homes It's a one hour long show per house so quite in depth. No money in it, you just get a nice dvd of your house build.

    bloody ebay

    putting ealry high bids in just encourages otheer folk to bid you up. or even worse, allow the seller to log on as their mum and play the daring game of guessing your highest bid and bidding you up to your max. i am a last ten seconds kinda guy. on holiday, at work, at traffic lights, havin a...

    How many miles have you done in your van since you owned it

    zero miles in over 6 years :( only did about 100 miles in it when i first bought it to get it home. saying its a slow burner would be an under estimate. back on it next year though it owes me too much not to.

    'Beastie Boys’ Adam Yauch aka (MCA) has died, aged 47..

    saw them at reading 1998 and have to admit the won me over. they were fantastic. looking at when he was born, that was only ten years before me :shock: that is no age. why does a good guy die young when there's pleny of **** bags who drag it on for years? real shame.
