5 months to go, i'm sure you can do it.

I might tow the custom van down with standard one, any place to store the van/trailer while events are on? I might risk one cruise in the custom (still no windscreen)

[Sundownernz]

We should have storage facilities available at the Tapu Fire Station and a private residence at Tapu if needed.

Hi all you Kiwi vanners.

Time is strolling on and with the holiday break it's time to remind you to get those entry forms for the Nationals. You have until the end of January to get them into me to secure the prices above before they go up. I know there are a number of you who want to be there so come on and do it. Your van doesn't have to be finished or of show quality. Just turn up in your van and have a great time with like minded vanners. Remember this is a fully catered weekend so nearly all meals are provided plus entertainment plus camping plus prizes. Just bring your own booze. What more do you want?

Have a great Xmas, awesome New Year, stay safe and get that van out cruisin.

Garry.

Only 5 weeks to go now till the 2011 Nationals. We still have plenty of space to accommodate all you fellow kiwi vanners who haven't entered yet. This is the best chance this year to get together with like minded vanner so if you haven't entered yet, pluck an entry form off the future runs section of the VANZ website, get it into me with your fees and plan to be at Tapu for the best Custom Van Run this year.

so how many of us new zealand buga's are going to the nationals? From what I hear bedfords are again going to be the most represented type of van. Thats even if you combine panelvans (ford and holden) with escorts and all other vans attending they will still not out number bedfords. So come on bugas get your bedfords to the nats and close the door on all others and renounce the bedford reigns supreme, as we all know it should. lol

Cheers Jeff
