- Опубліковано 10 лют 2025
- For the first time in years I was a banksperson with dad. This was me watching over him to make sure no one would go near the working machine. There was lots of hillwalkers as we were doing road maintenance to a washed out road using out Kobelco SK75. We used material that was already on the road just reshaped and done some ditching.
AND I BOUGHT MY NEW VAN!! I went for a VW Crafter. I am so so exited for this whole new journey and I hope you all are to. In the next few months I'm going to be converting it into a campervan. It really is a dream come true.
Congratulations on your new van. I am from London now live in Arizona for the last 20 years. I am going to do exactly the same with the van so I’m looking forward to watching you do yours. You are hard-working young lady. Congratulations on all that you are doing, you deserve it.
The A82 is a mare at the best of times, year before last I was up n down that road several times with a twin axel caravan ... that was fun at times when passing logging trucks etc.
Glencoe and if your Scottish born bred you will know who's house that was. Congratulations on New van pal 👍🏴
Might sound silly, but when you insulate the van, well worth doing above the cab liner. On a cold day condensation drips from the grab handles into the cup holders! Take that from experience 😂
There’s a very good FB group for conversions on the new shape crafters, we’ll worth joining.
Good evening digger girl cracking video again. Congratulations on getting your new van will you be fil.8ng the conversion for us.
Those country road scenery where u was traveling Amy look amazing & congrats on the new van
Great video Amy. Congratulations on your new van you deserve it. Poor Rupert, he looked so gutted he couldn't sit in the lorry with you.
Lovely scenery and a lovely van, what's not to like. Don't talk to me about HGV licence renewal, I decided last year due to a spinal injury to give mine up. It took 4 months going backwards and forwards with the DVLA, just to have a car license, wish I just renewed it would have been a lot easier. Looking forward to seeing the conversation, bet it's going to be really good. 👍
Many of the roads you drive look like great fun in something low-slung with big sticky tires, but I don't envy you having to drive them in the lorry!
Loverly van amy. You deserve it. Great videos. Take care ❤
Well done mate. You've have earned it😊
Congratulations on the new van the smile on your face says it all. The conversion will be cool to see. Happy safe motoring in the new van
It certainly is very remote up there, Amy!, those roads are a nightmare and i thought we had bad roads down here!, do you have a generator in the tea hut as you have electrical appliances i noticed?, love the new van, look forward to seeing what you do with it.
Amy, I am so made up for you lovely well deserved you work hard play hard. PS love the outtakes😊😊
Looking forward to the “fake camper” series lol. Kidding on its proper living the dream especially doing it with a brand new van and good to see Rupert as well.
Congratulations on the new van. And you are keeping busy with your dad. Poor Rupert was going to jump up and stay for a conversation. But not to be 😂 😜👍
😂😂 some of us have work to do 😅 thank you!!
Best of luck with your new van Amy you will have fun converting it did one and the satisfaction you get when it's done and then using it you will love it.
Looking good for new year keep up the videos, best wishes to yee
As per usual....super video Amy...Yea that was an easy job this week lol....The new van looks awesome....Theyre a work horse....same colour as my car....be great to see the conversion...Take care and see you next week....say Hi to dad.....Cheers
I don’t comment much, but I’m loving your videos😀 So nice to see roads we know so well, but also it’s fantastic to see a straight talking Argyll girl on UA-cam😀. Your accent reminds us of home.
Aww thank you so much, this means a lot 😊
Fantastic video again Amy
Your working relationship with your dad reminds me so much of the great relationship I had with my late father, miss him every day
Just a tip he taught me, when you are nailing into a post, once the nail is started, try holding another hammer, heavier the better, directly behind the post and the whip is taken out making it easier
Good luck with the new van, can't wait to follow the progress
Take care both of you
Geoff
Well done Amy best of luck with the new van you totally deserve it keep up with the great content
Great video amy 👍 i love the new van it will look good as a camper van hope you get a video about the 143 at somepoint love to see it all done as well
Brilliant video don't apologise your safety always comes first
Morning 🌄 🌅 Amy, brilliant video, 📹 episode where your not in a "digger" at least you were in the middle of some beautiful scenery, looking forward to seeing how your new van gets converted into a camper very cool 😎, have a great week take care, pass on best to dad 👍👌👏❤️
Great looking van, looking forward to seeing the camper conversion 👍
Wonderful van but don’t do what most of my contemporaries do and not read the instruction book - have fun.
Love the van shame it’s not automatic but do like a VW
I know, can’t have it all though 😅
Nice to see you like a kid in a sweetie shop!!
Well done Amy you work so hard and it pays off when you can treat yourself to a nice new van good luck with the conversion stay safe and well love you and the videos ❤
Happy new motor day! Geez have they no demolished that hoose yet!
Ironically the garage got burnt down on Saturday night. But yes that’s the best thing they could do!
I had my MAN TGE 3.180 4x4 auto Lion XP turn up yesterday. Love it,
Hi Amy, Had asked Nipper what your relationship with the 143 was, like was it your dads for example. He told me to ask you.
No never in the family me and dad always just loved them, we tried to get one back in 2012 but timing wasn’t right so when this one came up in 2021 we went for it. Old is gold!😊
Great video, I was recognising the road's you were driving, as looked familiar, then Inveraray confirmed. That job off the loch Lomond road was on the way to Ben Vane and Ben Vorlich, couple of decent munros to do. That's a nice van you got there, as for the insurance service, awesome. Mine expires in march so could be interested, also looking at getting a van to convert, won't be new though 😊
Good morning Amy
Brilliant amy as always ❤
Hi amazing Amy I hope you're well in good health
You're videos are always incredible 😍
Another good video your looking better in your self and I hope you like your new toy 😊 very nice
Thank you very much 😊

Hi Amy thanks for sharing another great video. You certainly get to work in some beautiful places, it's so funny how you are with your Dad you have a fantastic relationship with him.Love the new van can't wait for the transformation video's exciting times for you.

Congratulations on your new van Amy
Another great week from you Amy. Good to see how excited you are about your new van, should be good to follow your journey with it.
Great video keep them coming, ATB fur noo.
Thank you so much 😊
Another top vid Amy, always nice to see 2 yous working together n Rupert back on content 👌. With the 143 and a camper van conversion some great content coming 😀, roll on next week 🫡🤙
Another great video Amy that van is looking great the Camper will be great
You'll have a busy year ahead with the camper conversion and getting the 143 on the road. Looking forward to seeing the updates. The Digger Girl on tour could be a whole new series. I presume that you have to go trailer shopping for the 143 at some stage as well. Thanks for sharing your week with us
A very exciting year indeed!😅 oh yea I’ve already picked my trailer 👀😂
Morning it’s like a silent movie with you and dadzie such a nice easy going man cut him some slack 😩 after all he’s boss you wouldn’t think so though lovely scenery around there lovely part of the world you’re extremely lucky enjoy your new toy it’ll be nice when finished great choice of van safe working both of you 🙏
Great video again safe driving in your new van.
Wow 🤩 Amy! Welderfabber Cal would be well impressed with your new VW Crafter 😅
Great choice Amy. I have had one of those for over 10 years and it had the 4 motion. Snow ice mud you name it no problem hope everything else and you of course is 100 %.
13:33 Robbie should be well chuffed will his new yoke she’s some machine 😂😂 certainly is a small world indeed. Hopefully won’t be too long and you’ll be in the V8 club with the 143 🤣🤣
Hi Amy the new van looks great in the grey , it will look amazing when it’s covered to a camper. I’m looking forward to the conversation videos 😊
Morning Amy brilliant video I feel your pain with ppe when I was digging when I worked for Scottish water we were ment to wear hard hats while digging total pain in the butt lol and loving the new toy can't wait to see it all done .
Like how CalMac staff marshalling traffic must wear hard hats even though the only people "above head height" tend to be HGV and coach drivers...
So annoying isn’t it. Or when the glasses steam up 😂
Some company's will let you risk assessment safetyglasses out but a ĺot are saying no glasses no entry to site now
Great content enjoy the videos. The company i work for run komatsu for anything above 10t and kubota for anything under 10t. I like them both to be fair. As for ppe we have to wear glasses all the time apart from in the rain. I belive it will be the new claim in years to come saying it has affected eye sight ect. And to be honest i think it will have an affect on your eye sight with prolonged use of them. Keep the vids coming cheers andy from middlesbrough
Side of loch lommond is only fun on the motorbike 😆
The Munro’s…Ben Vane and Ben vorlich two good hills for you and dipper to do !!
Have You ever considered Solar on your property with battery storage+gateway Amy as its a game Changer for people in the highlands,never have another power cut plus cheap electricity,great video ,cheers 👍
Never have done but if I ever build I’ll think about it. Going to for my van though 😊
Great video Amy
Congratulations on the new ride.
Fantastic video this Amy with a lot of amazing content. All the very best with your new van. Looking forward to seeing the finished project.
Congratulations ❤😊
I wish you all the best with your new purchase. Looking forward to seeing the camper com together. Thanks for taking us along.
Looking forward to seeing your van build progressing. My tuppenceworth is try your best to plan everything that might ever be added to your van even if you’re not doing it all right away. It’s a lot easier to run wiring before everything is built in. Even consider running some spare wires, some right to the back, some half way down one side, some half way down the other side (some coaches are built like that). Plan as much as you can. Enjoy!
Absolutely going all out in the wiring and that! Thank you for the advice 😊
@@the_digger_girlYou’re welcome. Think I said on a previous video. Speak to Steven at Cawdor Customs up here near Inverness. He’s been converting these Crafters since they were first launched.
This has made my Week! Seriously you have shown me just how beautiful Scotland is! Never seen mountains before only in films! Scotland is amazing! You are so lucky to live in such a beautiful place & work there. I love the water also. The mountain peaks are just amazing 😮. And your dad has a nice smile. His smile is cheeky like your son’s smile. I never had my dad in my life. Only had my mum. Give him some love Amy😊 looking forward to you getting your new toy. Wow what a nice van. Mine is the Vw transporter. I love Vw it’s the best. Gotta have automatic though! I’m excited to see this van conversion.
@@andrewcollins8774 aww lovely comment thank you so much ☺️
@@the_digger_girl You deserve everything you are Getting. No need to thank us Amy. Wish you well Driving your new Toy! Gonna be exciting for you to go camping. Will dad give you time off? 😂
Well deserved,Amy. Nice van.❤
Great video, that Loch road is a nightmare I did it in August with caravaners which was funny to watch. I love the remoteness your working in shame your welfare trailer wasn't big enough for beds you could have stayed on site to save traveling time. The van looks good, can't wait to see the videos on the build.
@@davecoaker6146 it’s pretty tight isn’t it. But a lovely drive! Thank you, can’t wait to get started on it 😍
Hated that road when I drove the coaches to fort william, 49ft long bus and meeting the logging trucks that stop for nobody, was OK in winter and it got dark early so you could see the lights
Nice vid Amy
Love the interaction between Father an Daughter 😉More please
Nice van Amy
Where you off Europe or Down to 🏴 on Holibobs 👌
We got stranded at conaygarth for hours
funny u put that up to day with you know who's house was on fire last night haha
Ironic isn’t it 😂😂
Grinning like a Cheshire cat with the new van
You deserve it young lady
Keep up the good vlogs I love u lots ❤❤❤❤❤
There are a number of channels where people have converted vans to campers - can be a great source of ideas and inspiration in what you want to do with yours, as well as giving tutorials and advice in doing it yourself. Look forward to what you do with the van. Paint job too?
Con expo! Vegas baby 🥳🥳
I remember My First! Brand NEW! Van ... A Ford Transit Bank Robber - 1978 ... Can't beat the BUZZ!! 🤠
Cool! See you at ConExpo, Cheers!
Another nice video so what sort of van have you got hope you have plenty of work to do ❤❤😅
New sub brilliant video well done on ur new van 😊
Looks good 👍
I love your videos Amy ❤
Thank you for your kudos to SSE, council workers, telecoms lines staff et al!
"The Loch Lomond(side) road is one of the worst you can ever drive on". I presume you mean from the start of the drop into Glen Falloch (South bound) down to Tarbet (Loch Lomond)? If so, I call Grand Slam in spades for that.
18:20 Oh yes. You can expect me to off-side the left turns when I can, not so I can go faster, but so we can both see oncoming earlier and plan to meet on the straightest and/or widest bits.
Wow amazing 2025 volkswagen crafter
That van is just like the VW crafter but re badge as an m a n
Yep all the same 😅
I hate that A road on my bike 😂
Lay peg on the ground too fix sign it will be easier to nail
@FredCurrie-q2t 😂😂😂 I’d already put it in then thought of that but I still managed didn’t i
I hope you dokument the whole process of turning that to camper van
@@inkkarips4208 that’s the plan 😍
Hi👍👍👍👍👍
Hi good luck digger lassie
Best of luck with the new van. The sky’s are destroyed with geo engineering.
Its a Pity I am selling a crafter with windows wired with two Battries Automatic gearbox 85000 kl
❤
i thought they were going to demolish that house that a certain J.S Owned great location for a rebuild re the van as soon as I seen it I thought that would be great camper llol
Funny you say that because someone actually tried to burn it down last night!! Crazy. Not sure how much is left standing!
@@the_digger_girl i think its just the shell so not much to burn, it really needs to go
You have your dad's eyes ....Are you gonna get your dad some merch made called The Digger Dad
Amy In a Van. Ame In a Van.
You are mean!
Slow down 😮
if it's a new van why does it have a number plate already
How do you mean? I literally was driving it on the road 😂😂 you need a number plate for that hun
Black Pudding Yummy ...
