New Arrival

We welcome to the Lo 'E' Nuf fold more new members and their recent purchase, a 1981 T25.

Sim was a Chinnor Posse regular wa-a-a-ay back in the day and helped with building Hot Snot and Baby Bootle. Then, just as Lo 'E' Nuf was forming, he grew tired of the hectic metropolis of Chinnor and fled to Wales, via the Tubbytronic Superdome and picking up Evelyn (Mrs Sim) along the way.

More recently he realised he missed the standing around talking rubbish, the sitting around talking rubbish and the listening to rubbish so did the only rational thing and hot footed it back to Oxfordshire for a quick fix. This led to him joining us at Santa Pod for a few shows where he could indulge in some extreme nonsense talking.

Sim at Bug Jam

It was at Bug Jam this summer that Sim decided he had far too much spare time and money and therefore he needed a VW in his life. With Cris helping he contacted Graham at Scotties Van Centre in Bicester and bought this little beauty.

A 1981 Transporter with 2 litre aircooled engine and Autohomes conversion, it came with an MOT failure sheet longer than your arm and had been standing for 8 years but overall it looked good and the price was right. Graham dropped it off at the Birkshop and Cris and Sim set to it. Most of the MOT failure points were straight forward servicing issues and there's only 2 small areas of rot. The pop-top hasn't survived quite as well as the rest of the van but it's the very useful solid sided type and will be resurrected. The MOT is imminent...
