    new forum and other stuff blocker and absinth

    hey fellas - blocker you may have an email from me as i had a bit of trouble getting back in to the forum - but i am in now! like the new chat room but i agree with absinth - new layout was a bit to get used too. i am one of those idiots that doesnt like change on computers hehe. the site is great and you and your mates should be very proud of it. I also agree that it should remain as 'sandman specific' as possible. a lot of the other sites and forums just get too big. when i am on here sandmans is pretty much all i would want to see and talk about. of course we all probably have an appreciation of all things 'cars' etc etc but i just think this should be about sandmans.

    On another note Blocker i put a photo in the hx display page with me and my ute so i matched your personal pick. love the van mate - very sexy. and as for an inquiry - how did you come up with the colour combination for the home page of the my sandman website - i really like the brown and yellow decal on the green background. If that could have been ordered i would think that a jamaica lime or barbados green sandy with those decals would have looked very cool.
    Do we really know if a customer could walk into a holden dealership in the 70's and order any sandman combination/parts to create their own genuine sandman or were holden only selling their own designs? I am not talking about aftermarket mods - more so if i wanted the above mentioned colour and decals could i get it if i wanted to wait for my order??

    cheers mick

    Glad you made it through the internet, it can be a challenge but you have done well.

    Yes this site is Sandman only - there are lots of panel van or general aussie car sites out there for people. We don't want to be exclusive, just a place to build a community around Sandman history, identification and camaraderie.

    The website colours were done somewhere between 2am and 6am on a weeknight, so I will be politically correct and say 'I don not recall' ;)

    There is a parts catalog around, but I don't have access to it. Have to wait for one of the more knowledgable guys to answer that one.

    mate thanks for the replies. i feel i may be getting addicted to the site. as you can probably tell i am not normally a computer nut but i have been doing my best to surf sandman related sites for years now - this feels like its going to be a one stop shop!!!!!!!!!! great effort.
