This lovely MK4 belongs to a neighbour of mine who uses it in his roofing business. It's 2.0 petrol and I can't remeber the last time I saw one as clean, but it has only done 40,000 miles!
Anyone got one cleaner?

That is well clean for a van that earns its living credit to the owner

Well he MIGHT use it for his roofing business but looking at the van again it still looks like it's just left the showroom and hasn't got any roofing materials in it (no weight) No ladders or roof rack :!:

How does he get on peoples roofs :?:

Must have Red Bull every morning :!:

I hadn't noticed that! It normally has two roof bars. The guy said he's trying to retire but people keep offering him more money thatn he can refuse to fix their roof!
He was only fixing a leak in a flat roof when I took that picture so I guess he didn't need much by way of materials.
He's owned it from new and said he regrets not getting a diesel. Apparently he only gets 15mpg round town. :shock:

It's a shame to put anything heavy or dirty in a van that clean!

Does he have another van that he keeps his ladders and stuff on and maybe uses that one for moving stuff about?
