Thats the same as me. When I worked on the books at a firm I had a vivaro and filled it up with things that I knew I would never use. Now I have my own smaller van it was suprising how much stuff you can loose from your van and still do your job properly.
I give the van the once over every couple of weeks and try and make whats in there smaller so I am carrying less - I think I'll just be walking into properties with a hammer soon if I'm not careful. LOL
Nice that mate, you got it racked out?
better watch where you leave that in edinburgh or you'll be coming out to find your van on bricks !!

That's probably faster then my 2.2 DTi Vectra - but then I think that's slow compared to my 2 wheeled toy!

Hey got a 07 traffic. Had one a a rental when mine was in garage 2 years ago. So I bought one. I love it, loads room even wiv rackin. Jus had new G box but it's nice to drive. Would recommend!
Vauxhall Combo. 55 plate, 30K on the clock. Ex BT, had it for about 3 years. Brilliant van, just too small.
I always drove transits or similar size before, so had to leave a lot of gear out, but as said, you do cut out a lot of pointless crap when you don't have the option of taking it. I used to drive around with a big generator, and welding kit. How often am I going to need that fixing mrs jones boiler? Crazy.
That said, when I can, I'll upsize to a transit again as I would like more organisation and storage for parts.

i was thinking of doing my to re map it > pls tell us how do you fined it now ?
Pay to have it done profesionally, i have used the same company for the past 20 years. For me i think the sign writing is great as it gives you presence and gets you noticed.
Free advertising 24/7, it's great as i am 100% sure that over the years the sign writing has paid for itself 10 fold.

Ford escort 55! T reg, it looks alright with my sign writing but too small and old, was my first van. Plan on probably going for a Transit connect high top later this year or early next. This thread has given me some inspiration!
