New Purchase
« on: 01 October 2011, 20:13:22 »
In a moment of madness I bought the following...
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ford-Transit-Armoured-Security-Van-W-reg-2000-/290612201264?pt=UK_Commercial_Trucks&hash=item43a9d64730

Collected it today, it's certainly unique and looks 'interesting' on the drive  ;D

Max - Good to see you again, where have you been? How's the MV6 going?
Haha well, I just thought...why not?
Fix it 'n' bodge it money services at your service  ::)
Chris, I wish I had enough money to even fill 1/4 of the van  :D

Aaron...how about, free Omega parts and take it to the next meet? Who could we trap?

Daz - I heard you were on your way down, so I had to take appropriate mesaures  :P

I'm undecided yet James.
Initial plans are to tidy up the arches and get it looking decent.
It weights 2760 kg unladen and only has the 2.5 76ps engine...so some of the internal structure and doors will go to lighten it a bit...no need for a strong room and safe really.

Josh, i had an extended period of what might best be described as "ill health" and some serious fall out resulting...    (see my public apology thread in general chat....   )

i'm more or less stable , and working back to where i had intended to be this time last year....

Mv6 is about to get a birthday present ....  and  a half....

When I used to do a real job, I had a tranny with  the smallest 2.5 diesel (so, 76ps), and I popped it on a weighbridge one day, as I was sure it was overweight (was by 100kg), so 2.9t.  Still used to sit at 100mph all day, every day, on the M1 ::)
