    Whilst the car has been away being painted I've also been sorting out my trackday setup.

    Decided to get hold of a LWB, high top transit.

    Looking to add a bed and shower in the back, with diesel air heater and a water heater.

    All this means I've had to arrange a B+e towing licence in order to be able to tow legally.



    It's got a tow bar already and as it's rear wheel drive they come with a split battery system and charging system already so all in all a good base to work with

    Just done b+e for the same reason owning a lwb 3500 transit . I have the bed up high at the back of mine all boxed in so when you open the rear doors it leaves a big space round the size of the back of vauxhall combo under the bed for track spares

    Yeah I'm working it all out so it serves the purpose, I don't want to spend loads converting it so it'll be relatively cheap and a bit rough and ready but it's for somewhere to sleep that isn't under canvas cos I hate camping but hotel costs spiral out of control turns a £200 trackday into a £400 trackday!!!

    Couldn't agree more mate, snetterton bike racing this weekend and it was pouring down, all of us huddled in my mates transit, diesel heater on full, warm and dry!!

    In other news.

    Car is officially painted red and in the oven baking now. I'm collecting it tomorrow lunchtime. Photos to follow.
