Hainzy I think you miss read it like I did at first, jeza said in his early 20's not in the early 20's we don't know what time period it was because not sure of his age.

I'm 38 now so was referring to 15-20 years ago back in WA. I used to live around the corner from where Adam is now and haunt the coast from Rockingham to Margs. There was a couple of us 'bogan surfers' with our vans ending often in the car parks of the 3 Bears Bar, Settlers or the beaches around Margs after large nights out.

I didn't mind the title of longest running and most dedicated Vanner though.

I know of the safety risks around riding in the back of a van, but this was one of the most fun parts of 'vanning'. Kind of takes a little bit of a gloss off it now?
