That looks really great, Kendo. I thought I had narrowed the field down to three for my next van and now you have me thinking again.

It might not stop even then MrD.

I thought I had it all sorted when looking and researching but then the van I have now came along and the others ended up in the scrap heap.

I know what you mean, Doug. It was just two and then I had a look at your brand which made it three and now Kendo comes along. And they wonder why a man drinks!

Good on you Kendo, the van looks great. We are at the start of a waiting period for our van and they've estimated early December.

We looked at a lot of vans too, before we made the choice and it came down to two finalists. One was the Kokoda 2-up and the other was the Van Cruiser Interceptor. Both were they same size, both were semi-offroaders and both had very similar features. They were pretty much neck to neck throughout our evaluation. Came down to final negotiations, gut feeling and that I was invited to come down to the factory in Carrum Downs at any time to inspect the build.

I wish you all the best with the Tribute, I'm sure it will be fantastic.

Don't fret Dougwe. You off topic! disbeliefnodisbeliefno Nahhh it would never happen

Busy time ahead though

Saturday - Early pickup of new van, a bit of a play in the driveway (with the van), put the feet up ready for the AFL Grandy.

Sunday - Start making room in the shed & spare room by putting all those "just gotta have" bits & bobs into the van, put the feet up ready for the NRL Grandy.

Monday - Public holiday here. Hmmm start thinking of getting stuff ready for the BOYS TRIP TO BATHURST!!! (without the new van)

Tuesday - it begins. My youngest son and 9 of his mates are off to Bathurst and then to Philip Island for the GP. They were 2 short to help pay for the trip so they invited his Father in Law and Me to come along. I'm coming home after Bathurst, but I'm looking forward to the trip. 12 guys, 3 Wizz Bangs, camping in quiet ol Bathurst, what could possibly go wrong biggrinbiggrin

Hang on I think I've caught the Dougwe bug....where'd that topic goconfuseconfuse

Look at what we brought home today biggrinbiggrinbiggrinbiggrinbiggrinbiggrinbiggrinbiggrinbiggrinbiggrinbiggrin

20151003_134524.jpg

Got a bit of a scare. It wouldn't fit on the side of the drive we wanted (without coupling in footpath). The alternate worked fine "Whew"

A long 6-8 weeks but worth it in the end wink
