Someone once asked me why I'd called my VW Commer

 

[Panky]

I had one old guy insist that they were made on the same production line, no amount of persuasion would change his mind

I had looked for it last night too but it didn't come up in the search - glad it is there now, best of luck!

Hi Andrew did you sell your camper ?

 

[andrew]

Hi Andrew did you sell your camper ?

Yes, I'm happy with what I got for my van and looking forward to my next project.

Nice one Andrew, glad it went finally. Not sure on size you're looking for but can't go wrong looking at the 2.8 Hilux long wheel bases. Bit thirsty but fairly bullet proof I hear.

 

[andrew]

Thanks Jim, I'm looking at a couple of things next. The first one will definatly be a much more modern van, something my wife will feel more comfortable in. Then I fancy another project, so watch this space.

 

[Blue Alpine]

Good news

Did you find it tiresome on long Journey's curious as thinking about getting a commer. I have old cars and know that they are not long legged like modern stuff. So journey's become epic events. Which is okay as long as you do not need to do long mileage.

 

[andrew]

Every journey was epic in my old Commer, now I'm thinking about maybe getting another.

 

[Panky]

Didn't think it would take long

Didn't think it would take long

Must remember where I've put all of those old questions John.

I don't think there is any 'maybe' to it

Now you know my little secret.......just got to find the right van at the right price.

 

[andrew]

It's had a bid.

 

[dodgeram]

Your's Andrew?

 

[mellowyellow]

I know. I'm not sure if I'm pleased.

 

[Blue Alpine]

Can I ask you is the underneath of Mellow yellow solid? I know you said it had some welding but is it pretty good under the body?
Thanks for a reply .

 

[mellowyellow]

I can't really say. When we bought her five years ago MOT said rust but didn't effect the chassis.

We got her spot welds replaced with seam welds. Then she was painted with some kind of sealer so can't really see if there's a problem.
