Hot day at the Pod..............Big Bang 2008 pics

[super-craig]

pics look class....

please tell me this is bagged? damn thats low!

that SCK bus uber cool!

Its was cool watching them lower it. T2D seemed like a professional outfit

They had awful trouble getting it on the trailer though :roll:

wonder if they realised this before they lowered it or just after it was put on the ground :lol:
does look well and low 8) wonder if its low enough to pop the cats eyes out the road :lol:

As you may have noticed my van has been SLAMMED :twisted: ,

Drove to the Pod no problem took my place in line up 8)

Left Sunday morning all was well until the adjuster came off my beam at the bottom the whole front end was on top of tyres causing LOTS of smoke i pulled of and panicked

I phoned Rjb 63 ( Rick ) who turned up with Graham L and some tools , Then Olson stopped too , Cheers guys cant say thankyou enough

Olson got under and gave me the news it was not repairable , So AA man had to be called
I got home ten hours after breakdown :evil:

Work was carried out by The Bus Barn , and none of this was due to their poor workmanship , problem has been traced to a faulty thread on beam hence why adjuster worked its way out a new beam is going to be supplied and fitted ,


The Beam was a CB Performance one and NOT one of the Bus Barn`s own

just like to say again how good van drove and looked prior to failiure of beam and that it was no fault of Bus barn , extremely happy with their work and attitude and the fact they are bending over backwards to sort it out for me

Dude!

I bet your squeaky-bum moment could challenge that of Sir Alec Ferguson's

The bus looks ace - PM me your address and I'll send you that sticker you asked me about - as your bus thoroughly deserves it :wink:

Cheers,


Mike

I'll second this, from looking at what happened close up, there's no way it was the fault of the Bus Barn.

Glad you got home ok (eventually) dude, was really good to meet you and Graham L, and the other chap whose name I forget!

I'll be calling in for a cuppa next time I'm down your way Grazy... Van is looking sweet! 8)

Thanks Jon - just finished the little ply panel next to the sink unit ready for Stanford Hall this weekend

I'll second what Clem said - buses of the show at Big Bang were the SCK bus and Grazy's PV. Looks proper nails and was cool as fook driving round the show in it

Still not as low as mine at the back though eh Grazy :wink:

Hi Spike

Visually, your crew was stunning, but I judged it more as an 'art' form than as a road going vehicle ... is that fair? I saw all the mods and they were spot on.

No offence meant at all, hope you get what I mean.

It was the talking point of the show n shine! Nice one!
