NYPD Touring


Spotted this the other day down the road in Olveston.



Talking of vans, a friend of mine who owns a paint shop has recently bought a very fast, top of the range, VW T6 - automatic with leather seats and a very powerful engine. He paid £21.5k for it 2nd hand and he's about to spend another £15k converting it into a camper. Seems rather a lot of money for a small kitchen on wheels.

I finished weeding our top car park with the flamethrower yesterday - it's the first time in years that it has been completely weed free. A brilliant little piece of equipment.


I'm going to store the new flamethrower weed wand in the van, as it is extremely useful for lighting logs. The farm we stayed at in the Brecons supplied logs and a fire pit for those who wanted it, and I'm seeing this more and more people offering this facility on campsite adverts. Mucking about with firelighters and kindling is a pain and a propane flamethrower would be much more efficient. The AutoGas propane is cheap as chips anyway.

Any suggestions for my next mod for the van? I'm waiting for a local motor electrical outfit to give me a quote on the diesel heater, so it has to be a solar PV array, don't you think, although a cheaper mod would be more welcome to the bank balance.
