Lovely photos B.J.T....and Harry looks a very photogenic van,I can imagine he's almost on a par with you in your harris tweed and Wellington boot...

of course a gentleman would always wear tweed breeks with welly gogs
i find "The Chap" quite inspirational reading for tweed fashion tips

local products for local people


strange things smelt good though got 4 of them 92 leds in each for about £11quid
ended up cabletieing them to some old carpet doorway ali strips i found 2 on each

they are pretty good too plenty bright enough and a good white colour ideal for identifying night time dog waste accidents
the only switches i could find for 99p where both cmax heated screen ones so you have to keep pressing buttons till you get the right one

the other ones for the fan
and a partition in the middle welli gogs on stand by you never know when you might need them

just sort of cliped on to a couple of bits of wood so it can come out easily its mainly so you can get one dog out and not another without a stampede situation
might make another one to split the front bit up yet

[bigjohnthomas]

The trouble with led lights is they smell the same as cheap dog toys and mine have just been eaten
Looks like its back to chiwang for some more and some guards this time

[bigjohnthomas]

other side door and the pups in (odd shape that bulkhead had to bodge the old door in with bits of wood ) 20 odd degrees yesterday and it seems to stay quite cool in the back with the bulkhead flapper open and the aircon on even without the vent running

up dated pic that was in September this was today those 2 have grown a little since then and sorted their legs out and got some little chums

from 9 mesh holes to 4 at 2" a hole thats about 10 inches taller
and counting
watch this space

[winterheating]

You'll need a semi next !

[bigjohnthomas]

I always have a semi "on" first thing
Could always cut a hole in the roof for him to poke his head out

[belly]

Webasto roof ! Then get some leather flying goggles for them to wear

[bigjohnthomas]

sun glasses do

[belly]

Pmsl Ive had a thought for a winter solution ! (Bjt gets my one thought of the day ) As your not avverse to cutting stuff how about some of the clear Perspex bubbles you know the ones you see a zoo's to poke your head in a have a look Two of them on the roof hinged at the back so you can flip them over in summer

[bigjohnthomas]

sounds good but i think that might just cross the line between looking cool and looking like a fooking idiot

[peepingTOM]

enjoying his thread

[bigjohnthomas]

i was thinking of this thread earlier as its nearly 2 years since i got the lime and her f*** mother is due for her bi yearly visit
so thats the drains going to be blocked up again i think i will try to get visits to five year intervals after this one
anyway a week off 2 years on and 40 thousand miles later harrys list of broken things
rear caliper squeaked a bit till i jizzed it up
crank sensor packed up
and thats about it i think
whoever would want to swap a good transit for a crusty vw hippy bus must be a bloody knutter
eh belly
hang on just remembered on an aircon pipe had to be welded up too
and the windscreen has a big crack in it
just 10 days left now then its here

[dodgy01]
