My pride and joy!

[marinegirl]

Thanks for the warm welcome and advice when I first registered.
Here's a pic of my 2000 W reg SWB 100...

I get some strange looks pulling into the office car park, but I'm really happy!

[Luke]

Looks very clean and tidy!! I'd be very happy with that too!!!

Are your plans for a camper conversion or do i have a bad memory?

[MrMPuk]

Very clean looking van, what colour is that?

[WINDSCREENGUY]

eer i think its green

[Valsheda]

THAT A CRACKER OF A VAN , LOOKS WELL CLEAN AND A GREAT COLOUR , BET YOUR WELL HAPPY WITH IT

[marinegirl]

eer i think its green

I was just thinking that as I scrolled down and saw you'd put it!
Actually, I don't know what colour it is... I looked for a colour code on the VIN plate, and nothing -well, not that I could see. I had a look in Halfords, and their chart looking at years ruled out all but a couple of colours - but none of them were exact.

It's an ex fleet vehicle for Wrekin housing trust, so I'm wondering if they would have had a special colour mixed by Ford? I think they have a fairly large fleet. Would that be normal practice to provide a custom livery? I guess I could call Wrekin and ask...

It was very shiny that day - I'd just picked it up, and had it T-cutted the same day. Is that really lazy?! I decided to treat myself!

Luke - well remembered! It will indeed become my home away from home.... been working away a lot so not done much yet, but lots of daydreaming!!

Windows will be the first stage.

Oh, I did do one thing... but you'll all laugh at me...



Felt I had to live up to my new boy racer image in the office

Does that make her go faster then?

[marinegirl]

I don't know yet - I'm still in the honeymoon period, treating it with the utmost care and respect, no pedal to the metal for me...
Oh, that and the fuel prices (was happy with the first tank averaging 35mpg though)

Everyone I know is on at me to put alloys on... so the gear stick adornments were just a bit of a joke really. Though that said, I actually kinda like it... bucket seats next...

[WINDSCREENGUY]

its very clean how miles has it done???

[marinegirl]

42K when I got it, 43K now... love driving it!
It's 5 years old, so I was happy with that mileage...

Has anyone on hear fitted sound proofing material round the engine bay? Or is that wrong, and I'm supposed to love my transit's roar...?!!!

[WINDSCREENGUY]

im in the process of buying a petrol transit 1998 with 50k on it

[WINDSCREENGUY]

just turn the radio up

[marinegirl]

Tried that... it only goes to 30 - not always enough for a deaf-as-a-post type like me. Have discovered that the pips on Radio 4 at top volume are enough to make me jump out of my skin!!

[woody]

YOU ONLY NEED TO TURN YOUR RADIO UP WHEN YOUR YOUR VAN IS IN NEED OF A TUNE

[Valsheda]

THATS A VERY FLASH GEARSTICK GAITER YOU HAVE THERE

ARE GONNA GO FOR THE BUCKET SEATS
