I have a new project - and it has 4 wheels!!!
 

Right, now as ya'll will know, I don't like cars. All the nice ones are well out of my price range and - well - they just have too many wheels to be quite honest. However, I have always fancied a camper van, and Charlotte is also keen on them (finally something we agree on ;-) ). So without further adoo, I present the reason that i will be stuck in the garage for the foreseeable future.....

Cool. I have a major soft spot for camper vans as well. A colleague of mine was into the VW ones and it sort of rubbed off, even though they are a bit small. Yours looks to be a good size.

Tis a bit bigger than the VWs - not as cool granted but i think it has character. Just ringing round for insurance quote. This is the first time I have wished my Mrs wasn't so young ;-) Apparently they don't like insuring under 25s :-( I can go fully comp all singing all dancing for £218. they want £540 if I add her on. Ar$e.

Hmm. Track day vehicle if I ever saw one. :)

I hear that it will even top 50mph down a hill, with a tail wind! No brakes at the moment though - made the test drive "interesting". I had to perform and emergency stop with the hand brake and reverse when so woman pulled out and then stopped in the road! Still wqith only 60bhp on tap, you wouldn't need brakes on the track!

I was more thinking, driving to the track with the bike in the back. :lol:

I quite fancy converting a transit into a built for purpose camper van, with a pair of bunks down one side and rail and wheel stand for the bike that bolts into the floor down the other. I'd use it for all the org weekends away like the GM, saves sleeping in a bunkhouse or carrying loads of luggage and tents on the bike.

Ha ha...thats cool! You can sell ice creams out of it too!

I'm looking at replacing my beemer with a van. Looking at something like this though....

Hiya Phil,
Have you tried to get it insured as a classic car/van, 1973 i think was the cut off point.
i had a ford cortina 1600e 1969 year, and fully comp was only £60 odd a year......
And you can get it even cheeper if you restrict the millage..:smt115
