My first vehicle was a bicycle ;D  I used to ride round with my ladder on my shoulder and a bucket strapped on the carrier.  Got fresh water at each stop from the first customer.

That's dangerous.  It's quite a long fall from those penny farthings.

Yes, but the ladder was very handy for getting on and off ;D

Starting off:-

In 1997 I used the family car - a 1986 Volvo 240 Estate 2.3 petrol.

Then a 1991 Honda Accord Aerodeck Estate 2.2 petrol auto - had aircon and cruise control and drank fuel like a drinky thing from drinksland.

Followed by:-

2006 Doblo 1.3 diesel van with a 400L tank
  which then had a trailer with 200L added when Dan the Man joined me.
  (and now which Dan the Man gets the use of and is a second van for heavy
    days, gutter vacuuming and trailer pulling and which has a 200L wfp tank.)

Now the main vehicle is a Hyundai iload bought earlier this year.
