  1. hi guys just a quick one why is it that if your bus is in the camper bus magazine it then appears on ebay?? Is that a rule if its in the mag sell it :)

  2. People often use a mag feature on their bus as a way of getting some free advertising for their sale. Plus they can add "magazine featured" onto the eBay ad and make it more attractive/whack some more money on the price.

    I got so sick of reading mag features on buses that just happened to be for sale as well that I don't read VW mags anymore.

  3. Exactly mate , its all those nut and bolt rebuilds - you can spot them a mile off at shows, they put mirrors underneath so you can see how clean and wonderful it is and the guy is cleaning the wheel tread with a toothbrush.
    A copy of Volksworld mag open at the page where its featured and a 'For Sale' - looking for new challenge ad! £28K please no offers! I have replaced all panels, all nuts and bolts, rebuilt engine with brand new parts , resprayed , retrimmed with new interior , new glass, new roof - the most original Bay van you will ever see! Oh the N/S front number plate screw is the original from 1971!
    ;) Just kidding I take my :hattip: to the people that have the time and money to do those resto's :)
     
  4. Generally its in a mag because its finished, then its just a free mega advert

    I don't think mine will ever be featured in a mag then because I don't think it will ever be 'finished'.
     
  6. Some are just in it for the build, that's what they enjoy and probably cost more to do than they sell it for to get it that good
     
  7. Not mine, its a keeper and my son has his eyes on it!
     
  8. Mines been in a mag and I've refused to put it in other mags and fell out with certain editor I didn't like. I don't do the so called scene no more after the 1st year showing it...I have my reasons. But I've still got it and I use it now and then and I don't intend to sell it any time soon. I don't do any of the forums any more ... I'm a ghost in the nite, a phantom of Norfolk haha.[​IMG] here it is a few weeks ago in my unit.

  11. wowsers trousers that is amazing!! Have you painted all that by hand or is it wrapped? That would be a perfect Mag feature in many different mags not just VW related! Well done!
     
  12. Nice to see your still about hellraise dude
     
  13. Did I hear someone say that swear word.........God it hurts my soul every time I hear that word a little artistic piece of me dies......but then again as this bus hasn't been seen to much on here or at shows for the last 3 years and even though it's in the feature rides page which must have cobwebs all over it... I will for give just this once the word being mentioned. .. right to win a hewy designs t-shirt first person to message me the swear word that kills apart of my artistic soul.... If you are lucky I might still have one of the first run tee's with the risky eagle on the back...... so go for it and win a tee shirt.... what is that word / words haha
     
  14. what mag feature :thinking: or was it your wowzers trousers :D good to see your still about :thumbsup:
     
  15. Wrapped .... Is that the word
     
  16. We were in a mag last month...... It was great to see it in there.... We worked real hard getting him finished, as most of you guys out there have also done the same.
    No intention of ever selling him. .. . And real proud of how far we have come , we never thought we would ever have a late westy. ... And all the fab friends you make ... Even if you never actually met them yet.
    :)
