While it is appreciated that you look forward to the VOM, I believe in this thread...viewtopic.php?f=2&t=4358 Justice had put it to the members to submit themselves as VOM. Now it might be that Justice has been busy and not yet had the chance to put the VOM together, OR it might be that NOBODY submitted themselves as the VOM. What I do know is that for the VOM to be successful is that members need to help out by way of their submissions, it would make it alot easier.

yeah, the VOM is currently self submit...you wanna be featured, take the pics, do the write up and send it in (see the other thread for more details)

I have run into some hard times here at home, lost my job on Friday, pregnant 19 year old daughter is getting married on the 23rd and her and husband will be living here, so were trying to make room and get things prepared. So i'm a bit busy trying to find employment and other things as you can tell.

Won't affect the the workings of the ASV site, but I might be absent a bit...or just not on very much.

Damn! as a Father of a 19 yr old girl, I'm not sure which I'd have a harder time dealing with. Either way Dow, I wish you the best with both.

I feel lame doing this, but I'm pretty proud of my effort since buying this van in March of 08. As I usually mention, this effort is a tribute to all of the innovation and hard work of the members of this site. I've just completed (nearly so) a photobucket with pretty much all of my pics, minus "location" pics that I dont have access to right now. Check it out...

Do I make the grade?

Gabe, have a look at the layout of the last VOM ( which was Rebel's van ) and put something together that reflects that kinda style, pic or two with some info (repeat) until you think you have said what you think you need to say,lol send it to either Dow, Dean or myself and we will put it up when we get a chance.
