mySandman to host the Van Nationals

[Elegantly Wasted]

Stop sweating - it just a hypothetical.
A bit of fun with a serious side.

If mySandman.com.au hosted the Van Nationals, what would the Sandman related Trophy List look like?





Some results may become reality - I know people in low places...

going back a couple years, the sa van council sponsored a few trophys, i wonder if perhaps as a first step the public relations team at mysandman.com.au could look at sponsoring a trophy... perhaps even sponsor a new category...

As I was saying to you on the way back ski, it'd be cool to see a 'best original' category, for those who wish to go that way.
It seems to very much about customs at the moment.

[Absinth]

I think a good start and to include all would be

Best restored
Best unrestored
Best replica

Agree shorn also best period display some people go to a lot of trouble to add surf boards ,esky's etc
Best informations display to people that provide restoration information

All good points and views.... my 2cents worth? It'd be a fantastic idea if mysandman.com.au sponsored a trophy (or 2) for sandmans and maybe another category. What I noticed doing the trophy list this year, is yes, it's all about customizing. But should it be? As I have no idea on judging and what to look for, if you want a trophy for all original restorations etc.. you would need someone(s) who really know their stuff, not just holden, but ford and chrysler as well. Unfortunately, they are far and few between and those that may know, aren't interested in judging anymore, hence the issue keeps cropping up of "we need judges". Re originality... i was going to keep Beigy original... clean him up good and proper... but i have come to the realisation that originality doesn't count for anything, so i'm customising... but having said that... i'm not a trophy hunter (but if one did come my way, who am i to reject it...LOL). Anyhow, i wish you all the best of luck... contact Panther Van Club in WA and sponsor a trophy in Perth next year... 2013 we're going to qld... 2014....???? SA????

this one does have the category of "Best Individual Display" along with "Best Club/Group Display"

Maz, I think if MySandman were to sponser any trophies they would be for Sandmans only not all vans. Therefor we would only need judges who know their Sandmans like Byron, knowledge of other makes would not be necessary.

This is all hypothetical at the moment anyway.

Now, now, now - have we forgotten what the Australian panel van is really about?! I recall someone calling it a girl catching sinbin! We need to stay true to this!

I'd like to see a 'how many girls can you catch in your sinbin at once' trophy! You can never get enough action in the back of your Sandman!

[Mazdragon]

let's not forget how many boys u can catch toooooo
