G20 Day Van pictures.

Apollo the Chevrolet G20 Van all over the place, doing a few different things!

Away in the great Dorset countryside with Apollo (the Day Van, used to be owned by Chakka Khan!) and the Coleman Sunridge Trailer tent.  That was one huge beast of a trailer.  It could sleep 8 inside with no issues!

DCCBBQDT Huntick Farm Dorset!

WOW! What a great weekend. Good weather, good friends, great cars and a nice early night. Only to be disturbed at about 4.30am by the dawn chorus!!!


Looking forward to the Dorset Car Club weekend with the Drive In movie and camping and Solent Renegades!

Picture of some nice DCC cars!

Freedom is back on the road

The Day Van is now back on the road.

The new screen is in and looks wonderful! Thanks Aris for a great job well done.

G20 Update.

Finished the taking out of the small (well it was when it started) rust patch under the windscreen. Ended up 5 inches long and an inch wide! Mesh, P38 and kurust seem to ahve done the job. the area has now been sprayed gloss black.

Just waiting for the new screen to arrive, middle of next week hopefully, then screen in, lights on, sound up and away we go.

Never thought I would miss a car that does bugger all to the gallon, is hard to park in british town centers, but I do. Its great and it is as a car should be .... big, in your face and its mine!

G20 Freedom .... we love you!

A few Pictures

Just thought I would try this ...... CLICK HERE and see some pictures of Freedom.

G20 is in again

Freedom, the first car in Dorst Car Club (just put that in to see if the Google search engine find it!!!!!) has returned to its warm garage, also known as SIM Audio to have the rest of the work done on the sound and light system, fiamma wind out awning fitted and what ever else Ed and Steve want to do to it.

While that is being done, Aris will hopefully take the screen out so that I can fix the rusty bits that have formed in the windscreen surround.

They should have it done by Rallye Sunseeker, so with Freedom done, Astronomical lit up and Daisy Van with the new bright green Sub and Amp in the back, and Diddley Squat 4 lit up, we should make a bit of an impression!

We have been approved by Rallye Sunseeker, and the passes will be arriving 10 days or so before the show.

Dont you just love it when your children do something really ACE? When we go to shows, I always misplace the tickets and passes. "Where did I put them" I ask my wife , knowing full well that I put them somewhere ... in the glove box, in the show folder, on the floor, in an envelope ....
Then Taz came up with the idea of a ticket holder for the Day Van. The ideal opportunity came up with the Graphics course at school. Taz asked questions, did surveys at shows (no thanks to a couple of the PT Cruisers in Kent, but thanks to every one else) and did loads of designs.

Below is what came of a couple of terms work and many hours of graft and tears. Thanks to Mr Richards at school for his support (and I think he liked the Van as well!)

Now all we are looking for orders and someone to fund them. A great idea and keep a look out for it in the Day Van at shows this year.

Snow ... Snow .... and more snow

Wow .... a bit of the old white stuff seemed to shut down the UK today! What was it like where you were .... it was like this here in Poole ......

Astro is now fixed.

Thanks to ace mechanics shaun and Ady, the Astro is now running like a dream! Smooth, cruises, accellerates, starts and stops! And its fuel guage dont move like the lager level in my glass!

Brake light switch on Astro Van

All the 3 brake lights stopped working on the Astro! So checked the fuese and the bulbs, all OK.

Haynes manual says there are 2 types of switch all linked on to the rear of the brake pedal.

Mine is not one of the 2! It has a vacuum pipe on the switch? Checked it out and it was working manually, so we had to readjust the switch. All in all quite easy ..... but not according to Haynes!
