Check out screwfix for your tele' ladders, they've got a genuine 100 quid off!!
Down from 160 (& i know someone who bought some at that ;D) to 60 quid. ;)

Seen them in the flesh & they're very good quality but personaly, i wouldn't use them for w/c'ing.

nearly 20 years ago I used to have a triumph Stag, and had to use that whilst the van ( Bedford HA) was in the garage being fixed.
 Used to park it round the corner from the streets I was working in, so custards didn't see it.

1 benefit was that I got back from work much quicker than in that old van.  ;D

Ive just got a 54 plate l200 warrior, black one looks very cool, blacked out back windows so i dont look like farmer. Got my ladders on roof and trolley in the boot. Its got a snug top on the back. Previous owner left original invoice in full mitsubushi service history. She paid nearly £20,000 for it in sep 2004. I paid stratstones £8000. That is some serious depreciation and is not cool. Bought it for my caravan most of all. ;)

My dad has used a variety of 'different' cars for work including WFP.

He has used an Audi Coupe (very big boot), a Rover SD1 3500 V8 (many years ago) and currently he is using a Volvo 940 estate 2.3 turbo with uprated suspension and personal reg, he is using this for WFP.

I wish my Mondeo would only cost £50/month, I normally spend 20-35 p/w.

I bet that guzzles more fuel that George Best did booze!, I'd like one as it would be great for towing the caravan and ideal for work but the fuel consumption would put me off, I used to run an Opel Manta GTE and trailer about 15 years ago

brave lads i wouldnt like to have a crash with that lots hiting me in the back, take it serious and buy ya self a trailer and wfp system or a small van and system it will quickly pay for its self and make so much profit you will be able to afford a TVR thats the way to do it... the guys at brodex fit in trailers as well as vans I believe not sure but theyu have an image on theior new website of a trailer...
