The Horney Love Bus.

[Horney]

So yeah, this might be re-joining the Horney fleet.

Not sure what's going on at the moment but the guy I sold it to a few years a go who lives behind came round last night pissed up and spoke to Lizzie while I was out. Seems that the council or the DVLA or someone has impounded and told him he has 7 days to "sort  it" or it gets crushed. He said if we wanted it back we could "sort it" and have it.

I'm going to pop round later to see if he's sober and find out what the score is. I have nowhere to keep it, no money to fix it up or run but I feel I can't let it go to the crusher as me and Lizzie spent our 2 weeks of honeymoon travelling round cornwall in it and it has a lot of memories tied up in it.

As far as I know it last went for an MOT 6 months ago which it failed on emissions only. Since I sold it he's fitted a recon engine and fettled the running gear a bit plus ripped all the rear interior out.

Stay tuned!

One of those things man, if you sorted it and sold it on you'd probably make some sort of profit

I really don't know what to do with it. Ideally I'd like to be able just to store it somewhere where I can forget about it for a couple of years and then pick up as a project in a few years time.

I think if it's viable to get my hands on it then the first thing to do will be to speak to my folks to see if they'll keep it on the drive for a while and then see if I can Ash to pick it up from wherever it is and take it up there.

Maybe I should see if Marcus wants it?

You need this like you need a hole in your head.

For clarity, that means you do not need it.

Oh you're right, but I don't want to see it pointlessly crushed by the suits either.

Start a thread on the Prickyard, or 80-numpty then.

If I can rescue it from the crusher I'll work out what to do with it. My Dad's already muttering about taking it on.

Dad's can be useful. 

Hope you save it.

Spooky, wasn't that long ago when this came up in conversation after I bought mine. Reading back a few pages it seems like you and the van didn't get along too well. 

Be good if you can save it but sounds like you need to pass it on to someone unless you intend to get some use out of it.

[Horney]

It's going to cost £500+ in release fees and my neighbour has daid he won't sign the paperwork unless I give him £100.

It's therefore a no go as I just don't have that kind of spare cash floating around. I'm really sad about to be honest. Apart from the sentimental aspect of it going to the jaws of a crusher on saturday it's got a recon engine with less than 1K mile son it, merc alloys with new Toyos all round and a lowering kit on it. Such a waste.
