I'm having a dilemma. Any advice or ideas would be most welcome. Our camper van (as yet un-named, something we should work on) is due to be resprayed very soon. I'm not sure what colour or design though. I've been given a few ideas and come up with one or two myself, but nothing has really grabbed me yet. It needs to be the visual equivalent of a slap around the face, but at the same time stylish and classy (well, ok, you probably won't ever make a 29 year old camper van that stylish and classy) .
The ideas I've been chewing over so far are :-
1. A miniature double decker bus. Paint the camper van bright bus red, put vinyl black panels in two rows (possibly even with pictures of passengers), advertising boards, destination sign on the front, etc, etc. The main issue is that the drivers/passenger windows can't be covered with vinyl/tints, so you would have a full sized window at the front and little windows for only 2/3 of the vehicle. Would look a bit odd I think.
2. A Weymouth tartan. By painting the van a light blue, I can then apply strips made up of claret and white thin stripes to make an all over tartan pattern.
3. An enormous Windy 500 logo taking over half the van, a bit like the Salvador Dali clock design with the floppy clocks (or in this case Windy 500 logo).
It's a real dilemma and it's stopping me sleeping at night (though that might be down to the shifts and having to work at night)
Anyway, back in the real world, Weymouth slumped to another disappointing away loss yesterday to another poxy team after two very encouraging home wins over Christmas and New Year and some excellent football of late. Makes me glad I didn't take time off work to trek up to the Midlands.
We have picked up another team, fully paid up and definitely coming along. Team 1, Garry, Ian and Courtney will be first team on their way on 14th June 2013 as they lead the procession up the Esplanade. They are looking for a big reliable estate car by all accounts, a Mercedes or similar, but have a Mondeo lurking in the background if nothing else grabs their attention. Little sense of adventure if you ask me.
