    Searching "vdub Dave" is quite entertaining as well

    They've gone incommunicado, it seems.

    Just giving page updated with more contradictory information. Hasn’t stopped the funds rolling in though.

    They’re still implying the one that got soaked was the rolling one, not the shell, despite having the opportunity to correct it. Now they’ve switched to playing the victim.

    ‘PIXIE’!

    Interesting pic someone posted on FB last night was of PIXIE on the trailer attached to the T6 in a lay by at the top of his road, all seemingly none the worse for their experience. The post (along with other fair comment) appeared to be locked shortly afterwards.

    The crowd funding edited story just sounds like they’ve had more time to think about what they want and how to phrase it. Con or not, they are just plain idiots..... it’s sand ffs, normal road vehicles don’t tend to fare well driving across it, especially if they are heavy vans with other heavy vans on trailers.
    Not convinced they set it up as a scam from the outset, but I do think they are making the most of the sob story opportunity. Crowd funding, really?? Shameful.
    Shame I missed the Facebook page, I would’ve enjoyed that ;)

    I have an old Vauxhall Frontera years ago that I used for launching my Jetski and nothing else. One day I forgot to push the 4wd switch. Hit the go pedal (it was an auto) the back wheels started to dig in, hit the 4wd button but it was to late and it just sunk lol. Not a lot of chance with a T5/6

    Trying to recoup resto costs, I read one news report saying it was a £60k van.

    Include labour at some crazy £££ per hour and that’s easy.

    When your partner runs a VW resto place, I'm sure an inflated invoice could be produced.
