Re: CoffeeSnobs design a van competition


Wicked idea to use the CS card Goodies, it would certainly become a talking point at the lights! I like it.

The group handle looks great but Im already worried about the van becoming a chop-top on the first underground carpark I drive into.

So if you choose this one Andy, your Uniform will have to be all Brown. So It looks like a mound of coffee in the PF before tamping

Love it, but maybe I need an alloy top-hat so I look lilke a tamp.

CAUTION! Van Frequesntly Extracting

I have also added the Wheel Spinners to it to pimp it up a bit. These are often seen on Taxi wheels for advertising. They are in two versions Either they are stationary whilst the car is moving or they keep spinning when the car stops.

Andy,

I would like to thank you for this thread, my wife would like to curse you as I have spent most of the day having fun designing a van I will probably never see. But this is so much fun.

Where are all the other designs??????

Some of my favourite paint jobs can be seen half way down the page on the following blog.

Might be some inspiration there for the more artistically gifted.

Pimp my wheel spinners!
It must be a Perth thing as I must say I have never seen advertising wheel spinners on Taxis here in Vic... I guess its just a matter of time now.

The rosetta looks stunning against the translucent bean background Goodies, and Im sure if we use one if will have to be one of Coffee Kids pours (sorry Dennis).

I have only seen them a couple of times but here is an example below.

Re: CoffeeSnobs design a van competition

Andy what sort of Pimping Action are you going to do on the inside?

Maybe A sample roasting Station, A full on automatic bean dispensory system. Select your Bean, the amount required and insert your Visa Card or Notes and Coins and out pops your beans bagged and labelled (The CS Mobile Vending Machine).

Maybe line the inside with Coffee Bags.

Up front will be a coffee machine wtih Espresso Cup Holders in the dash. ;D

Re: CoffeeSnobs design a van competition


errr.... yes we can do all that but only on someone elses credit card.
Anyone offering? im happy to drive it around!

Coffee bag lining I could do... not quite the red crush velvet of the 70s vans but for more suited to CS.

You could also have a loud speaker like the icecream vans. But instead of playing Greensleaves, you could have the Greenbeans playing ;D or just have the sounds of First and Second Crack playing over and over.

Re: CoffeeSnobs design a van competition

I saw a plumbers van with a dunny on the drivers door so it looked like the driver was in it, quite affective, I thought.
Maybe a coffee cup on the drivers door could also work. Ray.

The Coffee Song - Frank Sinatra 1960
Writer(s): lyrics: bob hilliard/music: dick miles

Way down among brazilians
Coffee beans grow by the billions
So theyve got to find those extra cups to fill
Theyve got an awful lot of coffee in brazil

You cant get cherry soda
cause theyve got to fill that quota
And the way things are Ill bet they never will
Theyve got a zillion tons of coffee in brazil

No tea or tomato juice
Youll see no potato juice
The planters down in santos all say no no no

The politicians daughter
Was accused of drinking water
And was fined a great big fifty dollar bill
Theyve got an awful lot of coffee in brazil

You date a girl and find out later
She smells just like a percolator
Her perfume was made right on the grill
Why they could percolate the ocean in brazil

And when their ham and eggs need savor
Coffee ketchup gives em flavor
Coffee pickles way outsell the dill
Why they put coffee in the coffee in brazil

So your lead to the local color
Serving coffee with a cruller
Dunking doesnt take a lot of skill
Theyve got an awful lot of coffee in brazil
