The resurrection of Doc, bringing a 20 year old neismann Bischoff Flair back to life after 12 years off road.

Never polished a motor in my life, what's it for it will only be the same again after the next trip.

Not true .


It might need washed again after a trip but it won't need polished.

 

[JockandRita]

A bit of pride in the next most expensive item you will buy, compared to a property Chas.........which you would be expected to look after to maintain it's value.

will only be the same again after the next trip.

No, ie, if done properly, it will last you many months..

Cheers,

Jock.

No where near my most expensive item, never bought a motor that wasn't going to the scrap yard next stop apart from one 20 grand motorhome that I couldn't wait to get rid of.
I have completely no pride in motors, as long as they start that's the end of it.

For me it IS the most expensive thing I own , its also an asset I can't afford to lose or devalue drastically during my ownership, so I look after it.

Admittedly there's actually a bit comfort when you have an old banger you don't have to bother about, that 3 grand iveco I bought a few years ago and did round Greece etc with I didn't have to bother about as not a lot of money. Even moby was a cheap van and imperfect paint etc so not a huge deal if it had got damaged or more scruffy.


This van I have now whilst being 20 years old is in lovely condition and I want to keep it that way and improve it so it lasts me a long time or when I sell it I don't lose a load of money on it .


I also don't want to look like a tramp parked up somewhere lol.


It puts many newer vans to shame as a result.

 

[Northernraider]

It was lovely and quiet parked here In lancing ,then the other day this bloke in a fancy new cathargo parked right next to me like he was French and now he's in and out the thing at all hours, alarm beeping , blue lights flashing etc..tapping on the van disturbing me dogs ...a right noisy bugger


wouldn't like to be parked up beside him on an aire


But he is fitting me fridge fans today so I'll forgive him lol.

So you think N&B Flair is going to stop that look?

The Arto has not done it for me.

Maybe that's because folks know that the Arto is a much lower spec Geoff. Just saying like. ....................

Charlie chaser gets that in his ambulance conversion, they even stop for him to let him out of junctions thinking it’s an ambulance on a call.

I'm the opposite. Don't clean the van much and glad it's not so shiny and flash looking as when we bought it new as I felt quite out of place sitting in such a posh van when I'm used to driving a works van. Don't like being the poshest van in a place I'd rather blend in with the hippy vans but that isn't really going to happen with the big white box.

 

[Bustup15]

Think I need to find a jet wash after these shitty French roads

 

[Bustup15]
