This Ghostbuster?

Emily spotted this 'Ghostbusters' van on her recent trip to Swansea!

We've seen a few Ghostbusters vehicles on our travels, including Ecto-1a in Urmston, a Ghostbusters car in Scarborough, and Ecto-1 at The Light cinema in Stockport and at the Totally Stockport Comic Con.

The A-Team van in Worthing

It was absolutely amazing to see The A-Team van while out on a stroll on Worthing seafront at the weekend.

I spotted it cruising down the seafront (see the last pic) and actually managed to track it down better than Colonel Decker ever could.

Check out The A-Team Sussex on Instagram for more info.

He-Van, Movers of the Universe

What a sight this was to behold - a bootleg He-Man and the Masters of the Universe van parked in Worthing, West Sussex over the weekend!

He-Van!

The 'He-Van' belongs to He-Van, Movers of the Universe.

Totally Stockport Comic Con

80s TV, film and pop culture heaven!

Gremlins causing a scene

We had a marvellous morning at the Totally Stockport FREE Comic Con. What a brilliant event. So much to see and do.

The event was organised by Totally Stockport.

There have been some superb events here in Stockport. The last Comic Con was excellent too. The event was set to become an annual attraction, but the coronavirus put paid to the follow-up event in May 2020.

I've wanted to see K.I.T.T. in real life since I was a little kid. This was amazing!

We're so glad the event went ahead and are looking forward to the next Stockport Comic Con already!

We recently had a delivery from the Stockport Winebulance!

What an emergency service.

We had a delivery from LAPD Stockport earlier this year too.

Del Boy in Sudbury, Suffolk

We saw an Only Fools and Horses Reliant Regal Supervan racing through Sudbury, Suffolk last month.

It's one of a number of Del Boy vans we've seen while out and about.

A Scooby Doo Ice Cream Van

Spotting a Scooby Doo Ice Cream Van at Mayflower Park in Southampton.

It's always fun seeing ice cream van artwork and we saw this Scooby Doo Ice Cream Van at Mayflower Park in Southampton, Hampshire last month.

Only Cars and Commercials

We spotted this amazing van on our daily walk in Cheadle on Saturday!

I'd literally just said to Emily that I hadn't seen anything fun to photograph recently as we've been locked down in the borough.

Only Fools and Horses is a pop culture icon that has been ripe for bootlegging and parodies over the years.

It's crazy how many Reliant Regal Supervans we've seen on our minigolf travels.

Elsewhere in Stockport you can see a hearse from a business called Shed's Household Independent Traders.

Shawfield Line Marking Specialists Ltd. is another business that operates in Stockport and some less exotic locations like London, Paris and New York.

If you're in Blackpool you can visit Lester's Independent Trading Co.

A-Team Cleaning Services in Manchester

Spotting an 'A-Team van' in Stockport.

I always keep an eye out for fun and interesting stuff and managed to get a snap of this 'A-Team van' out on a mission somewhere in the Greater Manchester underground earlier today!

Check out the A-Team Cleaning Services Facebook Page for more information.

It's not the first A-Team van I've seen on my travels. Check out the Multi Kitchens Ltd van, The Waste Team and The Natural Tile Company in Belfast.

Reliant Regals

It's crazy how many Reliant Regal Supervans we've seen on our minigolf travels.

What a bargain!

I've also seen there are also Reliant Regal gimmicks on a few other courses we're yet to visit on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour!

I haven't got a Scooby Doo

We've seen quite a few things from Scooby Doo on our travels.

The Simpsons art on an ice cream van

We spotted an interestingly decorated ice cream van in Cheadle on Friday.

It's always fun seeing The Simpsons in unexpected places

It's not the first time we've seen The Simpsons on an ice cream van - we saw this one in Leeds and another in Cheadle Heath.

This was on the High Street rather than Abbey Road

Famous retro vehicles from the 80s

I've seen a few different vehicles from the 80s on my travels including an Ecto-1 and Ecto-1a from Ghostbusters, a DMC DeLorean, a Star Wars Speeder Bike from Return of the Jedi, and most recently a Back to the Future DeLorean.

Next on my bucket list is KITT from Knight Rider and a legit A-Team van. I've seen quite a few bootlegs already.

The best A-Team van I've seen to date

The Kitchen A-Team

If you need a new kitchen, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire - THE QUOTATION TEAM!

We spotted this 'A-Team' van in Cheadle Heath yesterday

Aka Multi Kitchens Ltd.

The Waste Team in Leeds and The Natural Tile Company in Belfast have cool A-Team vans too.

The Simpsons ice cream van art

Spotting another Simpsons ice cream van.

It's always fun spotting Simpsons stuff while out and about and the family often appear in the artwork on ice cream vans, such as this glorious one we saw in Leeds.

We've also seen The Simpsons adorning Steve's Ices in Stockport.

The Simpsons ice cream van

We do enjoy spotting bootleg things and one of the best places to see them in use is on ice cream vans.

Continuing the bootleg Simpsons theme how about this for some ice cream van art we saw in Leeds last December.
