I haven't been able to apply myself to this Site due to Travel and Work Commitments for a while. I'm hoping that changes back to normal soon.

A HUGE MV Welcome welcome

to all the Newbies since I last posted in here. rock

(Sorry for being so generic, too many to catch up on.)

Got a great sales pitch for this site from Russell at the Victorian Van Titles, so I thought I'd join up.

A Special welcome to Kirsty, our 1st Teenage Lady and still at School to boot! welcome

I really enjoyed Chatting to you and your Dad (Kevin) yesterday.

I would have given my Eye Teeth for a Van such as yours when I was your age. Congratulations on your Eye Catching Ride! I hope to see a lot more of it.

If my memory serves me correct, your Dad is building a Bedford Van. I hope to see and hear some more about that as well.

Enjoy your time on here and don't be afraid to ask silly questions, most of us will have silly answers from time to time, but mostly we're a pretty Friendly Bunch and usually come up with some helpful Advice/Information.

Love your Bling Grille and Wheels:

Here's my Silly Question: "What does Chaunce mean / stand for?"

Keep on Vannin'!

**WBvan "Chaunce"** Mon 29 Oct 2012, 5:27 pm

Wow, thank you everyone for such a warm welcome.

There is no real story behind Chaunce, I have just loved the name Chauncey/Chaunce for a while now and when I first got the van it just seemed fitting to call it that. At first it was just a joke but then it caught on so I kept it. I probably should have posted it with the y so it would be clearer.

And yes your memory is correct, my Dad does have a Bedford van that he used to show when he was younger and didn't do to bad with (it was called "Champagne"), but unfortunately it hasn't moved from the shed in 22 years because of the family and now all his other cars he hasn't really had the time to get back into it, although i know he'd love to.

Thank you for posting the picture. Smile

Can't wait to eventually put my mark on the van.

Welcome mate. Love to see some photos of the brothers HQ if you can access any.
Modern or old I love 'em all. Time to get a Van for your stable.

Regards, Smooth

Thanks Smooth 8, I'm trying to get some old pics from mum but at her age, looking for old van pics is not a high priority.
I will keep on nagging her.

Hey to all you Vanners out there.

I'm Lewis, I'm 17 years old and I've just finished year 12. I'm currently in the middle of selling my factory V8 4 speed LH SLR Torana to pay for a van project I'm planning. I hope to buy a windowless Hj-Hz panel van that has good paint and body, as I am happy to do mechanical and interior work myself. I live in the ACT and because of that I am spoilt enough to be allowed to drive V8 cars on my P plates. I'm keen to get my hands dirty and eager to start a new project.

**The Zodiac** Tue 27 Nov 2012, 11:32 am

Welcome aboard Lewis, the Torrie sounds nice. Wink

I've had a few Toranas myself, there's pics in the other cool rides section. Feel free to post your Torana up in there too. Good luck with the van project.

Cheers and welcome

Rob.

**Bowtie383** Wed 28 Nov 2012, 11:11 am

Welcome aboard Chris, I think Decembers issue might have a few van type stories in it. Wink

I'm keen to see a copy of it to.
Hope you enjoy your time on here with us.
