After nearly 13 years of ownership and many many changes I am finally onto the interior. I have sold the camper interior that was made for my van. It's now going to be more of a day van. I'm looking at boarding in the rear corners before carpeting them. I need something flexible that will bend...

It's what I did with the v8

Hi. Sorry but it sold over the weekend. For some reason I can't post pics anymore.

But they sound awesome.

Tad too far for me atm. Probably 400 in fuel too :(

I had this made by a joiner friend for my van. The engine is now in the way so this lot is for sale. It is unfinished and needs sanding and painting. Includes the cushions, 2 burner hob (never been used) and a dog bowl sink. £100 for it all.

Just been to get the van out to attend the local cruise. Turns out that the local stray cat has got in the garage and used the van as a litter tray. Absolutely stinks. 3 tubs of baking powder are now sprinkled everywhere, hopefully soaking up the odours

Well this week turned out to be an epic adventure. I had arranged with Christine to surprise Tim with a visit in the V8. On Tuesday night the fan belt flew off so I fitted my spare. Wednesday night I displayed the van at The Motorist as part of a motorsport event. Whilst I was there Christine...

Last weekend was the Straigtliners speed show at Elvington. Over 5,000 tickets were sold for the busiest one yet. I didn't race but did display my van which, as usual drew the crowds away from the real racers! I caught a bloke in the back muttering to himself about hew mad, mental and crazy it...

Speaking from experience.... that's awesome. I'm always wrapping slings around the bottom arms...

My V8 van will once again be on display in a heated marquee. Come and say Hi. Some bloke from Grimsby called Guy Martin will also be there.. https://straightliners.events/events/the-speed-show/

What does James Bonds Swiss made clock sound like? Coo.... Cuckoo

What are Giant Pandas afraid of?? BamBOO!

Apart from the kick stand being too short ( I forgot to allow for tyres lol) and another tack needed on the seat stem.. it's finished. Ladies and gents I give you... The Skip Rat.

Genuine Schwinn handlebars fitted. Now onto the cables before a test ride..

Well it wouldn't run without the key in the "lights" position so I dug in with the multimeter and found two wires on the wrong terminals of the key switch. It now fires up on either position, the lights work and it switches off with the key. Winner.

The wiring is all done and in, so is the fuel system, wheels and new brake band for the rear wheel. Starting to look like it should..

A confident, large woman in a sleeveless sundress strolled into a bar, raising her right arm high. The gesture revealed an exceptionally hairy armpit, which she displayed without hesitation as she called out, “Which one of you fine gentlemen will buy a lady a drink?” The room fell into an...

Time to start the wiring.. looks like it has a rectifier pack so it may charge once running.
