| Re: work vans? | | I'm in the wife's 206SW at the moment as my van blew up before my hols - its amazing what you can get in a smaller vehicle if you are pushed the drawback is I also do a lot of plastering and it is now full of cr*p! She is going to kill me!
I need a new one and am looking at a mid size van with the plastering work I need to get bigger boards in. | | |

| Re: work vans? | | Have an estate aswell,perfect with the roof rack for any boards.No need to rush out and buy a van till you have the cash,some lads have got vans on the never never and put themselves in debt before they've even had there first job. | | |

| Re: work vans? | | Cheers GG - I carry loads of sheeting but being a pillock I thought I'd only use wife's car for a day which turned into a week car now requires a major valet!
Seats - footwells - typical tiler/platerer sh*t just seems to follow me around! | | |

| Re: work vans? | | Ive got a tranny connect LWB high roof which is superb but not cheap, my mate has an LDV Cub, which is really a Nissan Vanette and its a great van, high roof and roomy and very reliable and not an expensive van, only downside is they are a bit gutless. | | |

| Re: work vans? | | Yea the connect is what I was looking at - economy has to be a priority especially when you do a lot of quoting jobs/emergency runs to wickes etc. - thats where the wife's 206 diesel comes in handy. I used to run a 3 litre auto bm which cost more to get to a lot of quotes than any profit on them! | | |
