Yeah, perhaps I shouldn't have listed everything on here. I trust you lot, but I'm sure there are prying eyes from pikeys on here!! Maybe admin can move this into the arms??

Danny didn't you forget to mention its guarded by 2 Rottweilers 24 hours a day with motion sensor lasers and gun wielding guards with a nervous twitch

I do have a rocket launcher in the bedside cabinet. Just in case. Pity as it will also vapourise the van, but that's a small price to pay to kill off a scummy tool thief.

Right, I'm off to finish some invoicing. Got to try and pay for this lil beaut!

Would like to see ur van T.B, or is it a estate

Van:

There you go Gerard. There's a picture of my van, which is not an estate but needs a wash, and my car, which is an estate and doesn't need a wash.

[SimonG]

Very nice Danny, was beginning to think you'd bought yourself a Unicorn 🙂 🙂

 

[SafeGasInstall]

It's a nice van and you enjoy it Tom , no matter what we all say ! Some will say negative things cos they can not even afford one , some others will be negative cos they drive little **** vans and there will be me who is just pullin ur leg 🙂

But they're not Land Rovers so they can't be nice.

Hi OP. My brother used to work in the motor trade and he said they sold more new transit parts than old ones so my advice on that would be to avoid the new-shape transits.

I've owned my VW Crafter for nearly 2 years now. It's 6 years old now and still running perfect. It's cost me nothing in repair bills over the last 2 years. Even the oil lasts for 2 years (that's the service intervals). Quality vehicles and I think when you look a the cost of ownership they are cheaper to own than transits etc. VW's last for years and years so they work out quite cheap. They also keep their value very well and as we all know depreciation is the biggest cost of owning a vehicle.

The MWB version of the Crafter is perfect too, it's long enough so you can also fit all the copper tube you want inside the van plus soil pipes, ladders, chipboard flooring whatever you want. I've got the Hi-Roof version because I'm a lanky ******* and I like to be able to stand up in the back without hitting my head!

LOL just read the thread and realised you've bought a van and there's no way to delete my posts - oops!

 

[TBServices]

Is that a good thing ?

Yes, I get nice friendly waves from all my colleagues and my happy customers. They never forget "that friendly young plumber with his shiny red van"

 

[Dannypipe]

Bought a Unicorn!! LOL

 

[TBServices]

Unicorn or Unicron?

 

[villa_tom]

Shame about the colour

Nothing wrong with a red van. Postman pat had one and he did alright 🙂

i used to drive a red van when I worked for housing associations and loved it. I was really high up and all the girlies noticed me in my shiny red van and I loved it 🙂
