My name is Lee but I go by FroOch since childhood if you're curious about the screen name. I am 25 years old and am going to make an attempt at bringing back the "truly custom" van. My fascination for the van started with as early as the A-Team and continued on to the Holden used in the new Scooby Doo movie. Today I purchased from Ebay a 1982 Chevy Shorty with 78,000 original miles, almost no body damage and bone "utility" stock. It has been a dream of mine since I was a kid to have a worked over van to tour the country in and maybe now it can all come to fruition. Just a quick Hello everyone and I look forward to becoming a member in the Vanning community. | | | Re: New to the Road and Scene #4918 May 01st 2003 7:54 pm | Joined: Oct 2002 Posts: 333 enthusiast | enthusiast Joined: Oct 2002 Posts: 333 | Welcome to vannin FroOch. Hope you are able to have your childhood dream sounds like your on your way. Where are you located? That way people can let you know where the runs are. | | | Re: New to the Road and Scene #4919 May 01st 2003 8:37 pm | Joined: May 2003 Posts: 592 addict | OP addict Joined: May 2003 Posts: 592 | Ooops, I'm born and Raised in New Jersey, the land of the free and the home of the Guido... lol. I don't know if my Van is worthy of cruising just yet but hopefully soon. My daily driver, a VW, is also a passion and also a work in progress so the van work will be minimal at first until my daily is up to par. Currently I am a member of Dirty Jersey Dubs and NJ VW club and don't know if any clubs take cross members but I would surely enjoy being part of the scene. Some pics to show you everyone what i'm working with.

Vanning is a lifestyle that has few demands or requirements. All you need is a van. Period. They're a blank canvas that you create what YOU like. There are a number of clubs in N.J. How about it N.J. vanners? Let's set him up with some info! Take care and...Keep On Vannin'! | | | Re: New to the Road and Scene #4921 May 01st 2003 10:57 pm | Joined: Jul 2001 Posts: 338 enthusiast | enthusiast Joined: Jul 2001 Posts: 338 | Welcome aboard! There are quite a few clubs in NJ. If you tell me which area you're located in, I can tell you what clubs are near you. If you say NJ is the home of the guido, I'm guessing you are somewhere in North Jersey. Narrow down the area and I'll be more specific with the clubs! I belong to Runnin Wild Truckers from Central Jersey - mostly in the North Brunswick area. We've been around for over 21 years so far and it doesn't look like we'll be stopping anytime soon! Hope you can come to a run to meet some very interesting and friendly people sometime soon. ------------------ Judi (Blenderqueen) Runnin Wild Truckers Sharon Hill, PA | | | Re: New to the Road and Scene #4922 May 01st 2003 11:02 pm | Joined: May 2003 Posts: 592 addict | OP addict Joined: May 2003 Posts: 592 | You hit the nail on the head... I am in North Jersey. I'm in Morris Cty and also stay in Essex Cty. My VW car meets are in New Brunswick so I'm somewhat familiar with that area also.

Joined: Sep 2002 Posts: 6,261 | Just what I wanted for Mayday! A new vanner with alot of enthusiasim (sp ?)!!!! Lee, you are not going to believe what some of these Vanners have done to their VANS. When we say "custom", it is different for everyone. Your VAN is an extension of yourself and the selves I know that love their VANS are an awesome group and very creative! Go to an eVANt--meet the people--see the VANS! Welcome to Vanning! And Chevys! | | | Re: New to the Road and Scene #4924 May 02nd 2003 12:06 am | Joined: May 2003 Posts: 592 addict | OP addict Joined: May 2003 Posts: 592 | I'm thinking hotrodded van with a retro party style inside. Some shag, a curtain, cushy seating and kick arse stereo system. 2% here I come.
