vehicle (work) size Matters?

« **on:** January 05, 2007, 06:50:16 pm »

Looking to upgrade from a vauxhall combo - just wanted to see what others are using. I don't necessary want to run a t/m but I do want to run at least a portable from the van.

Regards
Mark

I find vans like garden sheds, never big enough.

hi all

for me a citeron dispatch 2.0 HDI,
110 bhp so fairly powerfull for a van
fairly easy to run as far as vans go,
drives like a seven seatter,
plenty of room for a portable, chemicals, wands and so on

could pick up a good one for about £2500 - £30000

Started with a Ford Courier that wasn't big enough so I got a Fiat Scudo JTD can't fault it but still need more room.
Now thinking I need a slightly bigger van to make a bit more space in my garage.

Iveco, massive but brilliant

cost me £100 a week for 3 years, but the peice of mind I get from a new, warrented van is priceless

I know exactly how much my van will cost with no nasty MOT bills. plus its nice to have a new van

and an Iveco is chassis based. Which is a bonus.

with any van i find that its the biggest waste of money to my buiss you pay an arm and a leg for something new then its worthless four years later

so good cheap vans are the way too go trust me ! if there not paid for then they have to go to work

this is why i wont pay more then a1000 pounds for any of my vans but im lucky my hubbys a god when it comes to motors heres a few pics

got this for 400 pounds 53 reg 14k on the clock last year didnt need testing for 7 months

600 pounds later and four days free work from hubby it looks like this (two days getting jigged one days worth of painting and a day to bluid it up)

i wont have anything but bumped vans as i dont lose anything on them at all and the last 4 ive sold i may on them its the only way

Poll

What size is yours?
