| Hey Scott, maybe people like you should get in you know who's ear, and let him know that this things still happening, everyones sick of the slinging match, but it seems some people can't let it go, maybe you know who should let them go instead | |

| Gday to all, I guess I'm one of the few female vanners that actually own/drive a big van (or is this the norm over there)  I understand your not big on chit chat, so My van is Named ALIEN8 and her specs are : 1975 CFS Bedford 253 motor with trimatic box chevy caprice diff discs on front 8's all round with dragway mags full easy roller body kit Been like this for about 8 years, so its time to rebuild. Coming off the road at easter, for a total interior/exterior refurbish so will keep you all posted as to how its going (with plenty of pics)speaking of pics I'll get some posted up asap | |

| Hi Kath,
Long time no see. Hope all is well over in the endless sunshine state.
Are you keeping the same theme for the van or changing completely when you do the rebuild?
I'm rebuilding the interior of mine at the moment but it's taking far longer than I hoped. Will post some pics soon.
Take care and talk to you soon.

Garry. Back at ya Garry, Keeping with the same colours inside,(purple & silver) but it will be a proper sin interior, complete with water bed  and a few extras. The paint will be totally different with a solid colour and murals, gone off the graphics, but dont like just the 1 colour wonders that are about at the moment (boring)  No offence to anyone who has just 1 colour on their van, I prefer BIG, LOUD, LOTS OF COLOUR  | |

| Hi Jim and Lucy, Welcome to the site and great have you here. Luv your vans mate. Awesome work you do. I too have been vanning since 1976 when I was a founder member of NZ's first van club and have loved every minute of it. We're hoping to get a Kiwi/Aussie contingent of vanners together for the 40th US Van Nationals. Should be awesome. I'm also Secretary/Treasurer of VANZ (Van Association of NZ). Check out our website at www.vanz.net.nz. We're looking at having a forum page up and running hopefully before Xmas. Great to catch up. Garry. | |
