Sprinter Spanker starts today.

Postby sportscott » Sat Jul 12, 2008 11:06 pm

Picked up the Lpg Transit today, very happy with it so far, driven 160km already.
Its fast enough had it up to 160km/h (clock speed) only in bursts as it's dangerous in holland to speed for too long, you might get noticed and end up one of the stupid police programs being videod that they're always showing.

Actually your right, I'm lucky enough to live in a complex with a lot of immigrants, and most of them are pedestrians so can hog most of the parking also I have all the garden of the complex, all 270 m2 :lol: :lol:

If you could read dutch you'd laugh even more it is from a Car Valet and the stickers are all about car care and look at the state of what's he himself is driving :lol: but it is like new underneath so will be waxoiling that :wink: and think I'm going to spray it dark blue metallic and might even stripe it. Been eying up the silver Van with the notion of ripping out the interieur and using it on The Spanker :oops:

My ex nieghbour reversed a luton box Van into when he was moving out, supposed to come back later and fill in a claim form, have'nt seen him since :? anyway he's an old fart of 72 and I can't be assed chasing it.
Going to use the 85pk TD as Donor Van for my new project, swap over all the best bits and sell it off as lower spec, never did like those back doors anyway :wink:

Had my suspicions confirmed yesterday when I took off the side repeater and found remnants of the Police Livery :D It must have spent most of it life inside as only had to weld up a couple of very small holes in the usual places :P funny it still smells all kind of sweet, clean and fresh just like the PIGS, shame about all the holes in the roof mind.
It's a real Wolf in lambs clothing so gonna keep it white just to take them by surprise :lol:
I can assume also that the Lpg conversion is only a couple of years old , need to call the previous owner and ask.
Need to change my signature to "two very desirable Vans Man" :mrgreen:
