I ran a beaten up escort van that was held together with duct tape and hope for two years and seemed to get lots of work, maybe everyone felt sorry for me so employed me to paint there houses, and I got more tips then. N


Don't get a blue van they are invisible. N


With a mk5.. at least you turn up ;).... Mines blue, but people notice the bulbar first ;)

Some times wish I had bought a mk5 and not a mk6 with the devils engine. I was a bit gutted the day after I got my van a mk5 ex radio broadcasts van with 53000 miles came up on fleabay for £600.

I said to the wife the other day after being cut up again that I need a nudge bar so I can gently push the buggers out of my way. N
