Loving the pics of the older vans, would love to see what they look like inside. Really, thanks for all the pictures and pleased you have made some friends adding to some great memories.

I've been checking some out on mobile.de there are some great Vans and trucks on there at the minute.

I plan to change Toby next year so who knows i may decide on a partly done self build

Yes there are definitely worse places to be locked down.

Police drove through today and only thing requested was to keep vehicles 5 metres apart and no large gatherings ....so all good.

There is somebody flying a drone around here. It's been around a few times now. It is noisier than I would have expected.
If the dogs are outside they look up and watch it even when it is quite/very high, when it comes lower they bark at it!
I think I agree with them, it feels like an invasion of privacy.
Maybe it is someone just learning but I do not think it should be flown consistently over a small group of private houses, an I just being a grumpy old moaning misery?
I do not intend to complain to any one about it- except you lot- sorry

It may be someone learning .....spain has different laws to the uk but it depends on how low its flying etc

Mine is almost unheard if its about 200 feet

Theres 3 or 4 people here with drones and no one seems to mind them ....ive had more people coming over to chat about it than complain about it to be fair

But then theres people here on dirt bikes , quads etc so making more noise than my wee drone

Could be a commercial pilot? Maybe doing surveys or some such?

Every chance as i believe the police are using them here too for covid surveillance

Like it, apart from the graphics which is only cosmetic anyway.

This one looked fine from the outside and also from the bottom. Sure you know your stuff but it passed an MOT only to find that although the floor looked fine it was rotten up the sides where you could not see and basically the body was detaching itself from the chassis. Saying that these look like full chassis cabs and not the semi monocoque that the panel van was.

The engine was a cracker. 2.5l man turbo diesel.

I didn't realise "official" people used them but I suppose it would make a lot of sense and save time and personpower.
