Met Jason and the team, had a cuppa, got shown round the factory, swapped the rad cover, and had a nose around the yard and showroom ... Cool

Jason extended a very warm welcome and fended off awkward gearstick, quality, and price questions !

The factory is flat out. What recession??

I thought the different areas where the work was carried out are a little too segregated and perhaps this approach is why some work varies in quality? Having said that, overall the 2010 models look to be better put together than my 2007 and Jason told me they are constantly learning and improving. I even lifted the cab floor mat in a 2010 in the showroom and the RHD pedal cover looks much better.

So - in general Dean - a good trip.

Looks like there's plenty more BraziBays heading onto our roads. Bring it on Cool

It also looks like from the first image that the pop tops are now uniform in height?

People pay hundreds of pounds to have their van lowered, how much extra does it cost to have a lowered coffin top Irishman?

It has been interesting watching the amount of vanstock Dandurys have grow over the last year. When we first went and visited just over a year ago they ownly had 10 or so vans waiting to be converted whenever we visited. The last few visits they have had a carpark full each time.

The latest generation DWC is a different unit. Its more GRP, and a flush band of stainless. Looks tidier. Cool

Hi Dean - Nice to see you yesterday! Let me know which rad cover you end up using.....Who will win the argument on which is the best looking, 2009 or 2010 model - You or your dad? Hope you had a good time and look forward to meeting you again one day :-) Jason
