We read here on the forums or hear stories about Vanners stepping up and helping other Vanners. Sometimes these Vanners in need are helped by others that they haven't met yet. Its just the vanner way!!!!...
If a Vanner has recently helped you in any way then here's your chance to give them a big online "Thank You". Could be a Vanner express,directions, a beer, parts, mechanical , whatever your thankful for.
Lets show all the new comers to this site what Vannin is all about.
I would like to start--- | | | Re: Champion Vanner award of the day-- | Joined: May 2007 Posts: 3,321 pooh-bah | pooh-bah Joined: May 2007 Posts: 3,321 | That's a good idea Kevin. There have many times that Gloworm has helped a vanner from time to time but only 2 come in mind right now - installing a water pump in Tommy Trucker's van at the NY Natz & replacing a fan belt on Steven Damnit's van a the Kansas Nats (which we almost missed running on the track because of it). Gloworm always has his big tool box with us & we take a 5 gal container of water for making coffee & we do empty it till we get home incase it's needed for radiators on the way home.

This weekend it was time to do the trailer hitch and wiring. And for the guys and gals who know me, mechanical stuff is not my cup of tea. (i suck at it)(lol)...
So my long time Vanner buddy/brother in law Dan came over to assist me. The hitch was a pain in the butt but its done. The wiring wasnt easy either but Dan got it done!,,,so
THANKS DAN FOR ALL YOU DID!!!, You are a 100% Vanner and have my vote for Vanner of the day....

I still have a bunch of front end metal parts out there to pick up and when i do, I am treating Stan and his buddy dave i think his name is, to dinner for helping me cut these suckers off.. then cutting me out some floor sections later on after i discovered all the floor rust. I'd bring them an entire beer truck if i could. In my life, i had all but given up on meeting people like that utill i came here and the place is full of them. As i've said before and numerous times via phone, etc, THANK YOU STAN and company for the panels and the help in removing them, etc.. Was an incredible first impression on what vanners are like.
Yeah..... I know I know.... It's NOT a van... But if you squint, It could be a REALLY long van? | | | Re: Champion Vanner award of the day-- | Joined: Aug 2009 Posts: 91 journeyman | journeyman Joined: Aug 2009 Posts: 91 | nothing real big but, thanks to everyone for the huge welcome and all the info in just the 2 days i been here | | | Re: Champion Vanner award of the day-- | Joined: Dec 2006 Posts: 2,815 veteran | veteran Joined: Dec 2006 Posts: 2,815 | well a lot of you have heard my story and i still cant thank them
