Van Conversion

So, after buying my new van back in April 2015 I am now in a position where I am getting it all converted so I can use it for going travelling and camping with the family. I started to do some of the conversion myself but found it extremely frustrating trying to get the ply cut perfect so have decided to give in and admit defeat. BUT all is not lost….NO….because Peter at Manx Car and Van Solutions down at Union Mills Industrial Estate (opposite the SPAR shop) is going to do the honours for me, including cutting a window/hole in the new bulkhead so the kids don’t feel like they are locked in the back.

Over the years I have used Peter and his team for window tinting on my current and previous vans and his work is top notch and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to have their windows tinted or van converted. Once it has been done I will post pictures of the finished product but please take a look at his website and Facebook page to see examples of the work he has done to date.

Social Ride Week Commencing 23rd May 2016

Hi All,

Sorry for the lateness of sending this out.

I’m not going to be posting any social rides for this week, due to having meetings and I’ve come down with a bug, so I’m feeling like shit.

It’s coming up to TT fortnight, so the roads will be busy and closed at times.

So hopefully post some rides next week.

Cheers
