My very own 419eater van. 3 inches of die-cast metal Smile

Sorry for the shitty quality pics; can't get to my proper camera here Smile

Hmm, I think the face on the front may give it away...

have you been sending vicodine to the USA?

Perhaps it was smuggled in that very bus Laughing

Before the pics had finished loading, I thought our favourite Steelers fan was responsible.

Looks like welcome page and avatar material too Wink

In picture #1, you can somewhat see the RSOT (Red Seal of Truth) on the back door. I thought it would be a nice touch. Only 10 of these beauties were produced - original paint stripped, sanded, repainted, decals added, and sealed with several coats of high gloss sealer. I only say this because I want Shiver to know how difficult it was Laughing

. I need to think of a contest to distribute the 7 remaining vans (2 other members just got theirs - you know who you are). Help me think of something, these fine collectors items will clearly be worth millions in a few years.

In another thread I made mention of the ten all time greatest baits, only now it'll have to be seven.
Less of course those three who already got one, I suspect they are amongst the good and great already.
Otherwise, I would nominate :
NN for the WU productions
EStralian for form production
VPM for services to the phone industry
SP probably has one
SMcD probably has one as well.
Bombardier for setting fire to lads.
and finally Fasm for the Wheel of Rome work

My 2p's worth.

^^^^I vote for KD, mainly because Germany produces rubbish cars. Well they do now since they bought out the British car industry. Laughing

And before anybody has a go at me I've got a Porsche. It's attached to the back of my house, is south facing, and very good for overwintering my tender perennials.

@slowfreddie: I reckon it'd be more fun to have some sort of open competition, rather than a popularity contest (that way losers like me have a chance too Wink

)

Perhaps getting your lad to complete the sentence "I should have a van because..." in no less than 1000 words? Hand written, of course Laughing

Great job there Reprob8. Congrats to the recipients.

@IGG - good idea. Lads would probably think they are in line for a real one.

It's the cutest little lorry I've ever seen Very Happy

A true story:

Last week after work, some coworkers and I went to a nearby bar for refreshments. The bigscreen TVs, which normally show sports, were tuned to one of those daytime courtroom reality shows -- Judge Judy or People's Court, or whatever -- I can't remember which one.

About halfway through the show, they introduced a new case, and who should come sauntering (lumbering?) down the courtroom aisle, but Reprob8. Swear to god it was him, based on the cocktail party pictures he posted a while back. I shouted, "I know that guy!", and had to explain to everybody around the table that, well, I don't really know him, and it's probably just someone who looks a little bit like him, and that he's a baiter... It kinda got awkward after that.

The sound was off, but I think the gist of the case was that some big-haired woman called the Steelers a bunch of pantywaists, and R8 was seeking damages for emotional trauma.

Or maybe it was just someone who looks like R8... With him involved, I imagine that an incident like that would have ended up in the criminal justice system somehow Wink

So, I recognized a guy who looks-like-but-probably-isn't R8 in a bar. Surely that's worth a collector's van, right?

Great job, Reprob8! The only thing I might have added would have been a loaf of bread on top of the van! Wink

running some lab tests like the folks in CSI, I can detect traces of V's... the trail leads to reprob8. Wink

Looks awesome...
