A bit about me.
Posted: Wed Mar 04, 2009 9:12 am
Hi All,
My first post here, hope its in the right section.
My name is Terry and I'm on the wrong side of 40
,married to Theresa ( also called Grumblebum 
) and we have two kids, Brady leave your sister alone, who is 13 and knows EVERYTHING, and Brittany stop crying and don't listen to him, who is 11 and is dads little girl.
Some here may know me as FB MAD from another van forum although not a member there for a while now.
I have 12x FB and EK Holdens ( not all on road ), 4 HQ Holdens, 1x 1937 Chev truck and a shed full of things I've bought that I'll probably never use but just had to have, cost me too much but can't get rid of because I'll need it someday and probably couldn't find them now if I needed them anyway.
And we have a vintage caravan that was home made from one of Keith Winsers plans back in 1953 which we bought from the neice of the original builder a couple of years ago.
It runs Ford Pilot 16 inch wheels with a welded up and lengthened I beam kingpin axle ( welds done professionally as the builder was a mechanic).
He ( the builder ) lived in Tamworth and towed the van behind a 1954 Dodge Kingsway.We have photos of it here behind the Dodge and of the original owners with the van.We also have a log book of its first trip and subsequent trips including the cost of food back then as well as the cost of petrol, block ice, van park fees etc , which I'll throw up here on another post down the track a bit with hopefully some photos if I can learn how to get the photos out of the camera into the computer and then into that photobuggerit thing and then onto here.
Yep, you guessed it, I'm computer illiterate
We love to laugh, don't treat life serious, and hope to enjoy life as much as we can.
We all love the caravanning lifestyle and enjoy the company of other likeminded vanners and hope we may meet some of you somewhere on a van trip in the future.
There you go,
There's a bit about me,
Cheers,
Terry.

,I'll be able to get in the shed and start stripping the old paint from the VV in readyness for an "ourtouringpast" vintage van outing sometime down the track.
