Eddie, I’m sure if you do a search people have posted pictures of their vans before, I always remember Grays as I think the custom built back which he uses a bit like a tower is a really clever Idea. I’m sure it is a fairly old post as I am sure we didnt have a van at all at the time it went up so I didnt post a picture. Mind you the one I have now has more rust than paint on it so I wouldnt post a picture of that either !!!

Nice van Eddie. I like the layout. Not over the top but very professional looking. I honestly believe that as signmakers our van livery is the best advert we have for our businesses. After all if you don’t do a decent job on your own van, why should anyone entrust you with the responsibilty to do their van.
As Martin said, there was a post about these before, but I don’t mind boring everyone by showing my van again:-
Some people say she’s ugly (the van – not the signs) but I think she’s very beautiful and she means everything to me. π

very smart mate… clean and tidy!
its good how you have incorporated the red coach line round the vehicle also… nice touch…
now your works improving every time i see it and now you have your own van… not long before cotter signs moves into premises eh? great stuff..
getting bigger, by being better! is what they say π

thanks lads! robert speaking of premises, this is a photo of our new site,
top right is the workshop & top left the house! the wife can worry about the house, all i want is me little shed!, the machine man is starting on saturday, to dig out the foundations, the site is an acre, so plenty of room for flying my radio control helicopter on a sunday morning! π -

now that certainly will not get you missed mate! π
right in your face! up yer blouse & down your trouser leg π π
very smart! i like it….. π

terry, thats fantastic, i wish i could do work like that! eddie

Great looking van Terry, as Robert has said they wont miss you in that, what is the small writting on the door and front wing? Is it a list of services you provide?
Phill, I see you have removed the cherry picker from the roof of your van!! -
bloody ell!!!! its big enough aint it, nice one gray, ithink mine would fit in the back of yours π eddie

…what some fabulous lookin’ hardware!…
Terry – your van is superb! – with so much colour and energy it’s a real winner for me! π
Gray…what a marvelous battle-wagon you have – we all know how much work it’s seen with you and even doubles up as a mobile platform! – personally I think it’s modelled on Thunderbord 2! π
Henry…LET’S ROCK!!!…now that’s a real piece of eye-candy and no mistake.
Eddie…Sweet and to the point π – white vans are like the canvas of life to a signmaker eh!…you wait and see – you’ll be changing it and adding to it for ever!!! π
and me…I just drive a Vauxhall (Opel) Astra family hatchback π …no graphics – no roof rack – no nuthin’!!! π but it has got a CD player! π
more soon

P.S. Oops! – sorry Phill, I didn’t forget you…but I’ve admired your van before! π π π

phill.. Ive seen it first hand. Very smart indeed mateβ¦ and very well fitted to.. i had a wee look when i was up close π
Gray.. Very smart also mate⦠can I ask.. Not sure if you have said in the past. The body of the truck. The back bit I mean. Did you custom build it like that? Platform on the roof etc⦠just being nosey mate!
Henry. Now this is very different mateβ¦very funky.. does the truck etc match your overalls? Or is the design incorporated throughout your work place. Just asking as I think ive noticed bits and pieces in various posts you made.
How did you come up with the stripe graphics etc.. again just being nosey as its not a run of the mill design.. oh yeh and how did you do it. is it wrap vinyl or paint>
I bet that big four-wheel drive comes in handy in your neck of the woods. Especially with all the snow you are suffering.
Well I know most of you have seen our truck but thought ide take part in this anyway.
Ill post one of our vans when we get round to finishing them. They have to be 2 third wrapped so iβm waiting on a bit of spare timeβ¦ anyway hereβs me cherry picker. its an ugly looking thing but the only one with graphics.. π
