What you got then?

As usual I intend to break mine within 5 mins of making them, so my first one is to do more work on the van myself instead of paying someone else. :lol:

Buy the parts it actually needs, when the cash is there and not getting distracted by shiney speedfreakery or putting off boring jobs until it goes terminal.

Less of the Heath Robinson approach all round :oops:

Fit the parts I have bought over the last 6 years.. well the parts that are nice additions rather than the needed to do.., they have been done.. need some more tho :roll:

Oh and get the mods done that have been on the cards for a while..

And get it spruced up.. its been 6 years of good use since I did the original spruce up... she deserves it

And of course.. try and get out there a bit more and do some trips... :roll:

1.stop getting distracted by all the things everyone else is doing on their vans and concentrate on getting my syncro on the road :!:
2.buy all the cheap syncro`s that come up for sale in denmark and hoard them :twisted: :twisted:
3. when my bus is finished get over to the uk and put the first dents and scratches in it with a bit of learning by doing green laning
4. try not to use nr 1 as a resolution next year :ok

And a perennial favourite of mine - remember to drive smugly and purposefully in all driving conditions. Now that is an easy one to keep!

Great, I really thought it was just me who bought stuff & never fitted/used it!! But, it seems, there is loads of us.
I was just thinking the other day if I put all the hours I've spent on 80/90 into the garage I'd have more than one road legal/working van!! :lol: :lol: :lol:



Hmmmmmm, Resolutions.......

Sell one van. (not sure which)
Then get scooby working.
Get Ratter working.
And obviously get 25year old mistress!!

25 year old mistress sounds like a great idea.

I can only think of 2 drawbacks

1 I'd never be able to keep up!!
2 The missus would prefer the syncro.

:D :D

New vans are great but they just ain't got no soul!
