Maybe a picture of a van next time?

I've caught the feels, buddies
I work as an MOT inspector and this woman came in with her Chevy globemaster.
So i get to work on inspecting her van.
rust everywhere as you'd expect.
her outside panel under the door was by far the worst, i could poke through it with just my finger.
Chassis cracking in several paces, floorpanels are rusted through.
you get the picture

i must note that this was one of my favorite customers so i already felt bad for having to tell her beloved van was essentially basically fucked.
she broke out in tears, she was really attached to her chevy, asking if there was anything i could do, I'm no welder so i told her she would have to find a really good one

>MOT inspector
What is that?

it's what you'd call yourself if you were pretending to be an NT on the internet

>Chevy globemaster.
Are brits the new van culture people?
Is this a big thing over there?

What can I do to make the van threads better?

I see them a lot in Holland but never seen them in Britain, must be so special that the MOT inspector remembered it

What killed VanLife was:

1) gas not being 1.50 a gallon

2) seats that required bolting to the floor in a more sophisticated manner to pass MOT/DOT/ABC/BBQ inspection

3) On the same note, MOT/DOT/ABC/BBQ inspection requiring 3 point lap harnesses for all benches. A lot more work.

Well its my translation of the dutch "APK keurmeester"
MOT is just the british name for an annual state inspection of your vehicle

Yes thats the one, but this one was the camper configuration instead of panelvan
Im not british, I'm dutch. You see them a lot over here.
I basically just said MOT because nobody knows here what APK is.

Do they really condemn a vehicle for rust?
We dont do that in the states i dont think

Americans don't like having an overbearing mother for a government.

post actual van related things.

...

>implying your car wouldnt be considered not even roadworthy if it had severe rust issues

kill all yankees btw

People in the rust belt drive them until they literally crack in half.
You would be shocked at how a car can hold together even after things like fenders have long rusted away.

why is she wearing a gay hat

Did the van was ok?

...

...

...

That kiss van is fucking sweet!
I wonder if I could get away with a mural of guys wearing long john silvers on the side of my van.

...

who /hateseverylivingsituationtheyveeverbeenin/ and wants to try this meme out because it's one of the last options besides being homeless

user, the only way to find out is to try

Not me because im not a aspie but i defiantly want the dually/fithwheelcamper soon

it isn't a gay hat, she's a wizard

...

Girls cant be wizards user, thats gay.

Why not?

...

...

thats a mercedes? well it rusts just like a sprinter

Yes. Doesn't look that bad for something from the 70's.

I call her hype-zilla, don't care how hot she is old wizard is best wizard.

I haven't heard much of the latest stuff. I've seen the new video and couldn't say that the song was very fun.

Haha I don't think "fun" is what they're going for. They did lots of good stuff, don't just listen to dopethrone.

Do they make any nice van music?

...

MOT is short for ministry of transport. It's the British authority responsible for conducting vehicle inspections, as also exist in the majority of US states to my knowledge.

>van music
Whatever that is but this may work.

Americans only see faults when its too late and the damage is done. Why should you be allowed to drive around in a complete death trap? Simply because it hasn't fallen apart YET?

I fucking hate people who live "alternative" but are then conformist as fuck within their subculture. Surfboards and longboards have become an absolute fucking meme, especially when they're this carefully placed for photos.

>Simply because it hasn't fallen apart YET?
Yes actually.
The odds of a rust bucket failing in a way that causes an accident is very slim.
Let the poor bastards get the full use of their shit

Or society as a whole could fight disproportionate wealth disparity, but obviously it's far easier to live poor and dangerously instead.

Is this truck van enough for ya?

>tfw no bigvan

>fight disproportionate wealth disparity,
Why do you want to preach commie socialist ideology in an american van thread?
Vans = freedom
Van owners are freedom lovers

Not being stricken by severe poverty = even more freedom. What are your freedoms good for if you're forced to drive a car until it literally splits in half, and the mindset creates needless general hazards, let alone all the crime and violence that inherently accompanies poverty?

No one owes the poor people anything.
They are not poor because the rich wont share.
Wealth redistribution is theft and its anti freedom

Van life is alive and well my friends.

Damn that is what i am working towards .
Is that a quigly?
Where was the photo taken?
Looks like a colorado dream camping trip.

>van music
>Whatever that is

I want the van life, but I don't think I could give up on my Foresters light off roading abilities. It's godly to get to a secluded place only accessible by a shitty dirt road and then sleeping in the boot.

Are there any hardly vans that can do light off roading?
