    Are you happy with your van or not , are you indifferent to it ; its just the van etc , does it need work to get it where you want it to be or does it get on your manboobs /ladyboobs .

    On a scale of 1- 10 does yours merit a ten in your estimation or is it a one , judged by how you feel about it , do those few little niggly jobs get to you and make it a six or a five , do they not bother you and make it nine or a ten , or does the amount of repair work needed take it right down to one or a two .

    i mean for me just having a roadworthy bay makes it a eight or a nine ( for me ), how does yours rate - In your estimation no one else's .

    Rhubarb is definitely a 8 ( this week ) .

    Barry is a 9. He's developed an odd rattle that's annoying me but on the whole I'm over the ruddy moon.

    I give him a 10 when he's parked.

    Six out of ten at the moment but optomistic it will raise up to 9 in the future but never ten as it will always have room for improvement

    After the last few days away I'll give OSI an 8, there is an annoying rattle developing in the slider but apart from that can't really fault him too much

    10, not because it's perfect and finished, but it's everything I expected and more. :)

    I'd put mine at 7.5. When the new engine goes in, and I've sorted out the steering, it'll be 11. :D

    Can't really complain, I've got a great, solid, rust free (ish), bus that is a perfect base to resto on. The only problem I have is that it refuses to start, but I think I've narrowed it down to fuel pump or associated wires so almost there, I hope...

    I'm going to go 7 at the moment

    The storage is terrible and something we need to sort out

    His engine was always going to be the gamble & after the fire (and despite Birdy's continued hard work) it's still not as reliable as we'd like.

    Don't get me wrong - I love Arthur but I'd like to know we aren't waiting for the other expensive shoe to drop which is how it feels at the moment

    7 - but would be an 8 if I had time to sort the passenger door lock, redo the roof rack and fit some comfier seats.

    Also - want to get rid of the louve window on the sliding door ... replace with a flat sliding one.
    inside needs a tidy up too

    Major is an 8 - he needs the seats recovering, new side window seals, poptop cleaning and some little odds and ends, overall he's great though

    Rhubarb goes up and down in my estimation weekly , daily even hourly , sometimes ;like this week for example ; we took her out and had a great day in her and i am in love with her , last week she had been sat in the garage for a couple of weeks , there was a annoying squeal on the brakes and i was indifferent to her , i think they are like that , they play with our emotions :)

    Maybe if she was a boy van i would know where i stood ::)

    ;) ;)
