Nice... love that it's a Nodge.

I was next up to view this one so you beat me to it :) Looks lovely and as you say, nice to see the proper job done on the biodywork and paint by Jules. My old Dodge 50 was called Bessie so I would've kept the name ... she never let me down in years of full time travelling around Europe in my...

happy birthday !

Thanks for the replies fellas... very helpful. I did put petrol in it and I must say its been very frugal... doesn't appear to have used any at all so far. I imagine the battery is well charged... can't actually check it right now so will continue to imagine. The vapour lock theory sounds...

I'm pretty sure it's because I don't have one yet, a van that is. ... but starting trouble advice welcome in advance.

Not jealous :)
