Hi,just got back from our Holiday in Yorkshire and Scotland,we did around 1400 miles and the van didn't miss a beat and is quite quick from 50-70 mph due to Timbo's engine work,I have a few pics of the bus and some of the places we visited,hope you enjoy them....

pics from 'bogle hole', awesome chillin' place :)

more of the bus...

I've been cleaning the inside all week and the dirt is finally coming out of the dash grain so I have decided not to flock it as stated in earlier thread,I am putting the seats back as they were in previous bus,2 seats up front with armrests and three in the back with belts,also interested in the lowered leaf springs that I read about in another thread and will be looking for aftermarket shocks (bilstiens?) as an advisory on MOT was slight misting of oil on front shocker.
If I can sort the time off work I will be coming to Transitmania with the family where I hope to meet some of you over a strongbow or three! :lol:

The Mrs reckons I'm nuts because I was out washing the flies/bugs off the front in 28 degrees heat! :lol:

Thanks bud,myself and 11 year old car mad son Adam changed the oil and fuel filters today,it was a bit overdue to be honest,I like to change it every 3000 miles if I can,all went well and we were done easily within the hour,the van seems to run sweeter but its probably all in my head. :D

The van is in need of a good wash,it didn't get it today as our dinner was waiting :shock:
