B.P.R 2,798 Posted January 26, 2014 Report Share Posted January 26, 2014 (edited) I think i.... i mean 'we' .... done a pretty professional job... We ran out of wood for the frame...just above the door... and had to use 2 pieces screwed together... hence the gap... Will take 2mins to fix...because thats bugging my OCD... But ross hasnt got ocd... So will probably stay like that til' it falls apart ... Edited January 26, 2014 by B.P.R Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Oh yes I got on fine with them and scored a good deal (luckily as I had driven 5 hrs to get there) But when I turned in the gate, all I could picture was the caravan buying scene from Snatch. I expected to come away with a caravan and nothing to tow it home with. ! They were OK, but you just knew they were as dodgy as they come ! hahahaha I fitted right in 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RossM 8,119 Posted January 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 Make sure you put fuel In this one eh and not run out....haha ya useless c**t....pmsl So here's the whole story with that one, lee asked if he could use my van to pick up from you, said he'd replace the fuel, so we set off on the LPG and the fuel light comes on, lee says "just take a tenner off that catapult money Stuarts gonna give to you" ( I was surprised he didn't offer me, 3 game carriers and a paracord bracelet as payment) so he flicks the switch to petrol and keeps going, now the fuel gauge has always been faulty on that van, it's reading between 1/4 & 1/2 I do say to lee I don't know how much petrol is in it as the gauge is f****d, but he still chose to bypass about 16 petrol stations, eventually the inevitable happens and we run out of petrol (gauge still hadn't moved) so we have to trek to a garage, I have to buy a fuel can, pay for petrol so in theory it cost ME £13.87 for lee to get his f***ing poxy pipe! best of it is, he loaded it into his car when we got back (the whole point taking my van was because he said it wouldn't fit in his car) and all because lee wanted to accrue the £0.00002p interest by leaving his tenner in the bank the tight c**t!!!

Well that's not exactly how I heard it on the grapevine. I also heard a 'mechanic' like you never had a fuel can so you tried to fill up a milk carton hoping that the boy behind the desk was f***ing Stevie Wonder.....hahahahaha Quote Link to post Share on other sites
baw 4,360 Posted January 27, 2014 Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 What stops the dog going out that gap at the bottom? I've had dogs jump through passenger windows with smaller gaps than that lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
skycat 6,173 Posted January 27, 2014 Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 What stops the dog going out that gap at the bottom? I've had dogs jump through passenger windows with smaller gaps than that lol I'd imagine there are doors at the other end so dogs go in and out the back: am I right? I've got the same van, and had cages made: bit battered now after ten years of use, but the gap underneath in mine is all boarded off as terrier boxes. It works great: I use the middle of the van for my work stuff: love this van, drives like a 4x4 (sort of and on the road that is ), economical and touch wood still goes well.

So there is a false floor? Is that not just a waste of wood and fuel humping the extra weight about? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
