Guitar solo? Drum solo? Jamming with some of the guest artists?

Quote from: port perran on June 30, 2025, 12:21:39 PMMy vote would be for a simplistic design along the lines of the last one but a different colour.
How about black with white or yellow wording?

Yes, Black Van with yellow lettering shaded red! Poss to be less usual a "Gunpowder" shape as glass is heavy and would not be stacked high.

I received a letter yesterday from Chorley Hospital giving me an appointment at the Fracture Clinic on 2nd Sept at 16.30hrs. The letter gave full details about parking, where to go, bring any medications etc so I reckoned this was my long awaited MRI scan.
However, when I finally got through on the phone (after 8 attempts) I was informed this was just a telephone appointment with the spinal consultant who would give me the results of an MRI scan I haven't got an appointment for yet.
If the NHS was a private company they'd have gone to the wall years ago :veryangry2:

There still is (technically) a Northgate brewery here in Devizes. I say technically as it has closed down (moved really) this year but the building itself won't be demolished. It will be turned into flats.

Quote from: snitchthebudgie on June 30, 2025, 12:54:06 PMI'll buy one, whatever, but I'm tempted to suggest a cattle truck, as appropriate for some of our members.  Hat, coat, exit stage left and right.....
If it is a van type, then how about a beer wagon with the lettering in silver as another post suggested. May be 'N.G.F. Brewery' or other text with N G and F in it somehow?

Cheers! :beers:

Or the blue NGF logo that Tank has below his messages would look fine on a van.

Sadly I don't think something like a scrap wagon labelled "Fissed Old Parts" would pass NGF family muster.

Or a warflat with tank on it  :beers:

"Paranoid" six times could be quite boring then! I jest, BS was my favourite band in the early 70s and I saw them at The Rainbow Theatre on their Vol 4 tour - three rows from the stage - my ears are still ringing!

I concur with the brewery idea, but I'd really only be interested if it was an authentic looking vehicle that I could run with other stock, along the lines of PLD's idea.  Perhaps the van could have a livery such as this, and a number 15:
