my car is a piece of shit
vans can be slept in, can easily carry surfboards, can be used to transport loads of shit around, and these days are as quick and economical as my car was before it went shit.

also, it looks cool, and drives really nicely

Did you go for a panel van? What colour is it? Does it have a nice face?
Are you goign to lower it? Put spinners on it?
( Kroney, Mon 1 Aug 2011, 10:04, Reply)

yes, with a window in the side
white, with white bumpers etc. I suppose so. No, the wheels are so large there's no need. Good god no.

Are you going to paint dragons or flowers or something on the side?
I understand this sort of customisation is popular amongst the surfing community.
( Kroney, Mon 1 Aug 2011, 10:06, Reply)

you understand incorrectly
I may put some black wheels on it, and a black cover over the bonnet at some point.
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Mon 1 Aug 2011, 10:07, Reply)

I'd suggest putting a fake intercooler hood on the bonnet
with perhaps a large spoiler on the rear.
( Kroney, Mon 1 Aug 2011, 10:10, Reply)

that goes without saying

( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Mon 1 Aug 2011, 10:11, Reply)

What you should have done is buy a black one, put a red stripe down the side
and driven to the next bash with Labia, Monty and Chompy as the world's most middle class A Team.
( Kroney, Mon 1 Aug 2011, 10:17, Reply)

Middle class with no money?

(Set your faces to Stunned Bigly, Mon 1 Aug 2011, 10:19, Reply)

people who get vans and paint them up as A Team vans are fucking morons.
why the fuck anyone would want to drive a novelty vehicle like that is beyond me. Even if it's the same model van as the A Team one was.

'The Gay Team'

( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Mon 1 Aug 2011, 10:19, Reply)

Hang on, I'm on that list.
'The Really Tough Team'. There.
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Mon 1 Aug 2011, 10:20, Reply)

Nobody's even asked me who'd be playing what part.

( Kroney, Mon 1 Aug 2011, 10:20, Reply)

No need.
I'm clearly the silver-haired senior mastermind. The others play my bent sidekicks.

Actually, you're Murdoch.

Ooo
It's very white. That's all I can think of really.
(Himjim died a little more inside on, Mon 1 Aug 2011, 10:16, Reply)

it's not the most exciting of vehicles
but I shall enjoy using it instead of sleeping in a tent, and it will facilitate driving round Europe and stuff.
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Mon 1 Aug 2011, 10:18, Reply)

I can see it's uses :)
Friend of mine has just got a similar VW but in black. For a surfer/kiteboarder/biker they're a really handy piece of kit.
(Himjim died a little more inside on, Mon 1 Aug 2011, 10:19, Reply)

yeah, seeing my mates enjoying theirs was what tipped me towards getting one.
They really are nice to drive as well which is a bonus.

Need to sort out putting a bed in it and such.

In trouble with the missus, eh?

far from it

( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Mon 1 Aug 2011, 10:32, Reply)

Sounds a bit noncey to me.

(PsychoChomp, Mon 1 Aug 2011, 10:08, Reply)

that's because that is all you know
and so all other things are judged against that
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Mon 1 Aug 2011, 10:09, Reply)

All it needs is some rope in the back, a big dog, some copies of 'guns and ammo' and it sounds like a classic 'abduction-mobile'

Roses are red, Violets are blue
I've got a knife.
Get in the van.

That's just beautiful.

They always blub.
Lovely old hymn though, isn't it?
(Set your faces to Stunned Bigly, Mon 1 Aug 2011, 10:21, Reply)

Indeed so.
Based on Psalm 19, is it not?
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Mon 1 Aug 2011, 10:24, Reply)

I think it might be Matthew 19:19, actually
"Love thy neighbour as he taketh up the chimney of chocolate if threaten-ed with a great violence."
