Modern Commer Replacement

[pretzel]

Very tempting I must admit, but the Zarse Commer is a one off and I wouldn't want to spoil the uniqueness of it. Will make do with the Sube for now....

[Steve Pyro]

I would be interested in something like this if I knew someone who knew something about Commers who would be willing to do the work required for a modest fee!!!!!!  

I know just the man, I'll watch for your bids  

[Andy Zarse]

JP they're easy. Not much to go wrong, though I'm very surprised that no one noticed that this particular example quite clearly has totally the wrong dashboard installed. It's the dash from the later Dodge Spacevan, so it's not very original and for that reason alone, I would'nt touch this van with a bargepole.

OK, thanks for the advice Andy

When you see one in more original condition that you are ready to do up for me let me know so I can start bidding!!

Ok here is the latest replacement idea - I think you may need a bit of a whip round.





Price - $1.5m, all we need is the exchange rate to keep getting better

I'd never get my arse in that little gold plated oyster bidet. Or anyone elses arse for that matter.

Precisely dear boy.

Where do you live, jpchenet? To get to Thruxton, I'd need a lift from Southampton, but I don't know if I could get there anyway.

Wrong direction I'm afraid OL, I'd be travelling down from Basingstoke (if indeed at all)

That does bring us nicely back on thread again though!!

Mr Zarse, have you got any ideas of dates for the unveiling of the Commer??

This vehicle is a simple parody of the Commer. It's the same, only a bit bigger. It doesn't appear to have the white leather straining straps above the golden bidet, which is a mistake if you ask me.

The Commer will be defrocked, so to speak, when I return from the Windies. But there is a lot of work to do first. The fumigation people are booked and they're also going to attack the chemical toilet, the emptying of which appears to have been overlooked for many years. Then as soon as the dead roaches, rats and mice are cleaned out of the oven, it'll be all ready to provide a bit of catering to you lot.

Why don't we arrange a go karting day? I think there's a pretty good track at Sandown Surrey, which could be convenient for quite a few of us. How about some time in early May?

[jpchenet]

Go Karting sounds like a good idea Andy, although I think we should have a handycap system so that the lighter ones amongst us don't have too much of an advantage!

Does anyone know of any camp sites nearby so that the cumpulsory drinking session afterwards can take place without anyone having to worry about driving?

Sandown also do evening race meetings. Not sure if they'll start as early as May. Could make a whole day/night of it.

[gibberish]

I used to live only a couple of miles from Sandown, and I can tell you that there are NO campsites for miles.

Gonna have look at map and see what might be possible!

As the originator of it, neither can I, but if you think about it, the thread is rather like the Commer itself - good, solid engineering built to last a lifetime and beyond, even if it does get a bit ropey around the edges at times........

Ok, have checked maps, and spoken to my brother who still lives in the area.  No campsites for miles, except a couple of scout camps.  Brother will make further enquiries, and I'll keep you posted!!
