Thats a great pic on the ferry, i bet you were relieved when you got back home with it tho

Nice one Luke - that van is so cool

I would have loved to have done that road trip

I'm green with envy - and thinking that the money I have spent on my van (non-running, leaky cab and still looks like a shed) I could have bought 2 and half fire vans - gutted

But good on yer for getting this van - I think it looks beautiful

i know where your coming from keeping stuff origanal and theres certain things i like to see kept origanal but the way i look at it this van wouldnt be here if it wasnt for me bringing it over so and de-origanalising i do it's ok cos it owes me it's life anyway
the problem with me is A. i like to mess and B. i dont like spending a fortune on petrol oh and i like a bit of power inder my right foot so the V4's living on thin ice

1st time reading this thread. Really admire you and your passion for Transits. It certainly is catchy and youve got me thinking about engine swaps and multiple van ownership since Transitmania. Just hope my bank manager is ready for it all

same here, I have no space to put anything here, but I still want another transit to play with

My firm were offering a very attractive voluntary redundancy package last month and I ummed and aahh'd about it for a bit and decided to stay put. Over the last few weeks I have so regretted it as I could have set up a Transit business building vans and selling them particularly as my son has just been offered a partnership in the garage he works at... It would have been the perfect opportunity as he could have rented me space and contracted the mechanical servicing and repairs leaving me time to build, customise and sell.

If it comes up again, I will take it and start the business up and fulfill the dream.....timing eh....add to that a mate of a mate just won 2.2million quid on the lottery....timing is everything

Did not know you had this fire engine Luke, Looks marvelous. Great trip home with it. keep it forever. And NOOBRIDER you can't beat working for your self. I wish I had something simular years ago, but you can't turn the clock back can you. John L.
