Post by: brett walker on March 17, 2007, 09:17:49 pm: That looks excellent 8)

something different that stands out attracts peoples eye just like my little yellow van, it gets me noticed and gets me a lot more work ;)

That VW would look good with your name on it 8)

Post by: nat on March 18, 2007, 09:24:08 am: them old VW's arn't very reliable are they? thought they had a problem with overheating, an old van like that wouldn't be reliable enough would it? probably lose a few days work here and there from when its conastantly in the garage.

Looks good though! 8)

not really a issue with overheating if the engine is maintaned

as with anything old, they do break down, VW made them so that the average non-mechanic could do alot of the work himself, but hey, as you said, it looks good ;) so thats good enough for me

Post by: aztec on March 18, 2007, 11:31:58 am: what do you guys think?
for a gimmick i am going to fit a bubble machine to the back of both vans so when we go along there will be bubbles coming out of the back!
they are only a tenner each and thought it would be a good talking point and free advertising
