    Are you left handed? I had that problem until I started taking photos right handed.

    Yes - but I don' think its as simple as that. The volume up/down buttons which I normally use as a shutter button need to be on the bottom of the phone when you are taking photo's for you to have no problems. Which doesn't seem right I know as you then have to press the button on the screen. My understanding anyway. Then of course the files were too big so had to email them to myself as a smaller photo from the iphone. Technology is great isnt it....

    I just use my thumb as the shutter pusher on the volume buttons and screen button.... if you take the picture from further away and then crop it on the iphone the file will be much smaller and you can post on the forum easier.

    So this is the van. Love it! Seems a similar taste in choice of colours? Haha. Any info on what shes running? Ive seen these rims kickin around, what are they? Are they still available? I dont know if I want to change up my welds but these would be an interesting option

    haha yeah tags say Tuxedo black but last owner changed it to Antelope. At some stage I will paint it black again but in no rush at all. Just enjoying driving it for now with some minor tinkering. A set of stripes like you have painted on yours would look the bomb!

    She runs a 308 with a fairly lumpy cam and holley 600 through to a turbo 400 which shifts very crisply, and 10 bolt 3.08 diff. My van is slightly modified too - but I'm happy with the look. Rims are called Bandits - I got them off Showster rims on Ebay. Fronts are 17 x 8 with 235 45 17 and rears are 18 x 9 with 255 40 18 tyres. I reckon they would look great on a ute. I have a HZ ute I will swap them onto at some stage just for fun. I'll get some photos when I do.

    Next job is to lower it a bit - and keep cruising!
