    Display/Storage - How do you do it

    in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)

    Posted

    I have used in my first cabin, IKEA Billy Bookcases and a glass door front, plus plexiglass home cut shelving, as the IKEA units only come with three glass shelves. The sides of the cabinets are already drilled to take more shelves and I use short cut lengths of sprue as pins for the shelves. As we have moved house 'downsizing' as they say, another cabin is already ordered to fit a part of the small garden we now have.

    Seen at Walmart, today, two Chevy Outlanders and an MV-1 in civilian colors. I haven't seen a dust buster GM van in quite a while and suddenly there were two of them looking brand new. The MV-1 was unusual. I haven't seen one in regular passenger van use before.

    Being in the UK, we don't see a lot of what you might see, but what is the MV-1 please?

    At yesterday's club meeting, a past participant showed up with a collection he acquired in the late 90's.  The way he got them was the original owner had taken them out of the boxes, cut the parts from the trees and put them in Zip-Loc bags.  Downside is that you have no idea if all there just hoping it is.  Upside, he was giving them away FREE.  Just wanted to clear out some space.  Anyway, I chose these three.  I'll eventually inventory them but may not build them.  Just thought these were the most interesting to me.

    I was also at the press unveiling and first track test of the Volvo Estate at Silverstone, as a track/spectator marshal! It was funny as they had a large fluffy doll of a white sheepdog in the back!
