…. after eight months the van is back from welding, a respray and new headliner. Off to the show at Redcar tomorrow so cutting it fine! Those who recall my old van May remember all the bling. I think I’ve got most of the same on now but with home-made trim on the air intakes and chromed dash...

I promised pics of the work being done on the bus, just been to the workshop as it's back from the respray and was having the headliner fitted. Windows due in today so hopefully 'job done' pics won't be long. In the meantime here are two pics, one taken today and the other of the old Crossover...

Not been posting for a while but now have pics worth sharing. I’ve had the current van for eleven years now and it got to the time when some welding was needed. We moved to just north of Whitby five years ago and luckily found a reputable place run by VW people, Resto Restorations. They have now...

Not much info anywhere yet but a Facebook post by Fairbanks & Craven says there will be a lineup, I believe of air cooled VWs. Will post when there is more info. Not been to a decent lineup since we moved north four years ago!

Somebody I know in Sittingbourne has sold their van as the guy sadly died last year. He was a bit of a tool inventor and his bits and pieces are off to the dump unless somebody local wants them. Not having posted for ages I cannot see how to get a screenshot up of the stuff available but maybe...

It’s taken nine years but I eventually got round to getting a set of BRMs for the bus, a final feature for it to match the one which was nicked all those years ago. I was advised to buy 185.65.15 tyres but having tried it seems to me they won’t fit under the bodywork. A good friend has suggested...

Good old Harlequin has just made me some new cushions in red to match the van hence the old grey ones are available if anyone wants them. Good quality, comfortable but too grey in a red van! Minor tear s seen in the photos. Full width for rock'n'roll bed. £45 collected from near Swanley junction...

From my old Devon van, the set of curtains which I removed when using magna curtains before the van was nicked! They are really well made, lined and with draw strings and hooks. I may have further hooks to include free if I find them again in time! They were fitted to the van for 7 - 8 years so...

Just Kampers 8 Piece Thermo Mat Set for VW T2 Bay for sale. Bought ten years ago, probably only used ten times. Ideal for winter trips! Good condition but two pads are missing (be careful when releasing from the window!). JK new price £99.50, for sale at £45 post free. [/url]][/img] Sucker...

For sale - Bluebird awning, used maybe ten times. £150 collection from Crockenhill, near M25 / M20 junction for Swanley.

Long time no posts.... Long story! Have been sorting fuel issues with the help of the brilliant Chris aka slammedkustom. A new fuel tank seemed to be a good idea so we got one at Coolair. Chris went again this week and they had been told by another customer of an issue but had no solution...

Sorry to post a pic of a late bay but this is brilliant… or is it an early with a late front? This was taken back in 2000 in Brussels. I'd gone with friends to take pics of football grounds. One in particular was brilliant, Duden Park, home of Union St Gilloise. We got to the game early, went...

Now really looking forward to this year's Breeze as the brilliant Ian Hunter is playing in the Concorde 2 on Madeira Drive on the Friday… http://www.concorde2.co.uk/eventsView.php?pagename=Ian+Hunter+&dateTime=2014-10-03 Just hope I can get in the lineup and that the Racecourse gates won't be...

Look what I just won on ebay... Back in the summer I was pleased with... Got two sets for £50, one for the UK number and the other will have the original US number for shows!

OK, I know they are as rare as rocking horse shit but worth the ask! Just to clarify, my van is a 1967 Bay, wipers for later earlybays, latebays and splittys dont fit.

Just back from a week in Wales. The last two nights were spent at Black Rock Sands.... ...camping just behind the dunes on a great site near Porthmadog. The beach is amazing anyway but it is free to drive your car on it. Some park and others cruise up and down. We took the van on and...

Have at last got round to sorting a table for the van, only almost two years after buying. I found some laminate at Ikea as the Devon formica was not available. Three pieces together give a table just 10mm narrower than the real one. Having a full-width r&r I could make mine loner - by 40mm...

... went to Coolair this afternoon to get oil, spark plugs etc. On the way in there is Rich's great Devon wrong way round. It's displaying a superb bike rack, being sold at £72, and the earlybay discount can be applied to make it even better value. Had to have one! I got it roughly fitted...

This set are from the old van. These are lined and hang so the pattern is inside. The rear curtain had a length of dowel through so it hangs from the hinges - not ideal but seemed to work and kept the rear window clear for driving. There's just one tie tag, the others were in the van when...

The image above is the one I used to publicise the theft of my old van, just after returning from a camping trip to Machynlleth this time last year. I've just got back from this year's trip in the new van, pic below. Each van is different, this one makes more noise when driving, there's less...
