T2's and MK2 Chopper

Here is me on a rainy Sunday afternoon posing on my bro in law, Vern, MK2 Chopper alongside his matching green bay. Vern was very much an inspiration for us getting into the VW scene, his knowledge tips and enthusiasm has been much appreciated. Vern also has a green VW beach buggy and is restoring a rare MK1 chopper. Vern is a long standing member of the elite New Waves club. His van is featured on their site (http://www.newwaves.co.uk/) If you need a competitive, reliable and friendly removal firm in the South East you should also check out his business here : http://www.vaphillips.co.uk/  . He wont turn up in his wicked bay but the slightly less cool but practical vans pictured in the rear of the photo above!

Using the VW as a removal van

Barbara is converted into a removal van

Barbara did her first proper 'job' today, although not in cash terms as we were moving a friend. Was keen to see what Barbara could carry 'fully loaded' and with the Danbury conversion in emperor bed mode (see pic)

Anyway i was shamed as i could not get either of my friends sofa's in via the sliding doors without removal of the buddy seats (no photos of this embarrassing spectacle). Another friend had a large Fiat estate with a dropping tailgate and the sofa's just slipped in! Very embarrassing to be beaten by a Fiat although i remember my old Fiat Panda regularly carried a 2 kilowatt sound system and seemed to have Tardis like abilities.

She did carry a lot of boxes and looked like she had been lowered by a few inches.
