Title: INTRODUCTION
Post by: russ on July 04, 2012, 11:55:55 PM

Hi all, I'm Russell O, I've been into vans since 1976 when I bought my first van, a white HJ Holden. I joined the South Australian Panel Van Club in 1977? and met a lot of really good blokes and blokets. I wonder if any of them are still around? I stayed with the club for a number of years and even toyed with a Jap van once, a Corolla (BAD MOVE).
Since then I have moved around a lot with the RAAF and have owned a few more vans since then. At 51, I have just bought myself my second Beddy though at the moment it really is a piece of dung. I hope to have it on the road within a year. My two Hondas fit nicely in the back so it will be very handy.
That's me, if you live near Wagga look me up.

welcome aboard russell, for a minute i thought you lived just up the road, we have a forrest hill here as well. News flash though, a year, um i have been working on mine for a few years now, should of taken 18months. If you have an open chq book and a few tradies, you may be in luck. Anyhow there is no shortage of help on here, good luck.
