my era was mid to late 90's when I was at school and started taking a liking to vans. surfers and tradies or combinations of both. I was kind of brain washed I the youngest of 5 kids my oldest brothers first car was a ford xb ish van (he was a cabnet maker) next brother down his first car was a WB van (surfer) then my sisters BF got a Sandman, sold his WB van to get it. so when It came my turn to get a first car... HJ sandman it was and still got it. Then Bec moved in and it wasn't long before she got her HX sandman, then my Dad got in and got a HJ 3 door ex ambo van. few years on everyone's moved out and I'm now the only one of the brothers with a van. Dad still has his ambo. Mum and Dads house used to be known as the panel van house.
