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!

Fifty Shades of Green

I am afraid there is nothing erotic about this post, the bus is often filthy and dirty, but not in that way. Its actually six shades not fiffty, but maybe i will get a few extra hits from people searching for 'mummy porn'!

 I created the image above to act as a 'straw poll' of what shade of green i should paint the bus in. It has to be green now because of the green kente curtains courtesy of my mother in law that will now provide the overall 'theme' for the interior.
After going through the RAL codes i have picked my favourite shades and using photoshop paint bucket have overlayed them on Barbara. Judging from Facebook comments (see below) it looks like RESIDA and PALE are in front. Please take the time to vote on this  Poll in the right hand collum.
