My van has 211,000 plus on it ........still going strong ........barring punctures..... evil:

Make/model?

Bet it's a Jap? rubschin:

Still haven't got a spare for me van following this weeks theft, bastards.
I will not be best pleased if I get a puncture. noooo:


mitsubishi space wagon (van )   old n battered ,,,,,,,,,,but does the job ......not sure of the year but prob early 90s ...........

Just the jobbie matey, just the jobbie.
No worries about car park dents and scratches then. :thumbsup:

Actually makes a massive amount of financial sense having an owld trustworthy cheap banger instead of worrying yerself sick about some flash shiny new hugely expensive piece of future unreliable shite.


It got TWO washes this year ........... :thumbsup:

You've had rain twice then? eeek: lol:

Have you lined the whole interior with that silver finished sound deadening material then?

Vaugley remember talking about that a few months ago.

Looking good man. :thumbsup:

I WAS going to take my The Beast  out for its final show of the year tomozo (Uttoxeter), but the forecast is for quite a heavy frost tonight, so that means JOM and his merry nationwide men will be chucking tin worm seeds down everywhere. evil:  Banghead

Not bothering now, as even if the roads are dry, salt 'dust' is going to get into every tiny little nook, cranny and crevice underneath it, and quietly nibble away. evil:

Yes, I've completely lined it with this stuff....

It should keep the heat down and also help with the sound insulation too - I've bonded it with high temperature contact adhesive and sealed it with aluminium tape...

It is a closed cell product so won't hold moisture if it ever got wet (not that I am ever planning to take it out in the rain!).

Took a good week to cut it and put it all in - worth it though I think...

Going out to take me 'shed on wheels' to me mates bodyshop this morning with a view to having it re-sprayed in two tone blue and silver to match 'The Beast' which I've managed to find a tow bar for for a fiver on the Bed of Fleas. :thumbsup:

They're  going to look SSSSSSO sweet together. cloud9:
