Would it not be cheaper/more convenient for you to fly over? I'm sure we could arrange lifts to and from the airport, and will no doubt be loads of vans to crash out in. :idea:
I will come to the pre-event meets, so we can get a proper look at the donor.
If you want a real van.......You gotta get a Transit!!!!

Might be worth bombarding a few parts places up Rotherham, etc. Just walk in with the camera on my shoulder and a few guys to ask...... can't really say no then can they?


Is that a bit like that doing up your house in 2 days programme on the tv? Melinda messenger walks into local DIY/Curtains/furniture shop, complete with full film crew, flashes her norks, flutters her eyes and says "we got no money, but can we have 5k worth of your stock. You will get 27 seconds on the TV, and I will look good for the punters? "

Luke, can you do a big smile????

Don't know what help I'd be but I'm up for it.
At 1372 mile round trip, would I get a badge for longest journey to get shouted at? :lol:

Hi all,
Hope its ok to post this here as it is sort of to do with the weekend makeover, Ive sent Martin ( Vantuner ) a PM asking him if he is going to the makeover and if so could he do a remap my van whilst there. He said that if I and another two members want a remap he would try and sort something out, But he cant do any MK7 as it takes too long and he does not want to miss out on the fun, So if there is anyone with a mk6 or connect going and wants a remap let me know and well take it from there.
P.S
Any idea of the date yet ?
