Van Idea
 

So anyone here good with painting vans? I have an idea, yes I am clearly mad, but we all knew that!

Right I think my van should either be pained up to look like the A-Team van or the Mystery Machine van from Scobby Doo the cartoon (probally one of my favourites:D) I think it would look just awesome:D

Just a crazy idea, no money to do it with, but I think its a cool idea:D

How about white, with flourescent stripes, flashing lights on the roof and the word "POLITE" on it :)

Get you through traffic :P

Also you could sneak it into the works respray/repair system :P

A couple of years ago I saw an old VW van that had been shortened by a about a third - had the rear suspension jacked up something stupid - huge silver alloys, and painted like the mystery machine - uttely mad but extremely cool :smt119

Re: Van Idea
 

Maybe a padded van, so you don't hurt yourself when rolling around in your straight jacket?

Cool! - wouldn't fancy goin round a corner too quick in it tho [-o<

He bought it to the office a few times when I was there, it looked gorgeous, I was extremely jealous, I get the impression the handling was "ok", but they had massive overheating problems.

Possibly my all time best boss ever (DC, if you're reading - good times mate, good times), loved his cars, loved his bikes (916 Senna rep owner if I remember correct).

I am carless at the moment..........never been a big one on cars - but they are very useful now and again - especially since sooner or later the Scooter will be going (or stopping!).

Am looking at getting a small Van........the thought occurred to me to get it signwritten. My current favourite is "The Three legged Donkey Support Centre" - with a graphic of a Donkey propped up with a Bar Stool.

I like the Scooby Do idea - but not sure if I could cope with the embarrassement of the A Team :p........although on a Daihatsu Hijet maybe it would be pretty cool :cool:
