I take it ye might be getting just a wee bit excited!!

 

[Dotty]

Just a tad. spent all day yesterday stripping the old one and cleaning it.

Didn't realise I was carrying around so much crap.........

 

[Masood]

Lovely having a new van, isn't it? I treated myself on 1st Sept. Still got the new van smell! 😀

 

[Dotty]

This is on lease hire, 60k miles I get another one.

Thats 18 months for me......

Apologies for hijacking, but on this subject, what is a good mwb or lwb van? I need more space as things are taking off well for me. I'm thinking crafter? Just wondered if anyone had any pearls of wisdom. Can't really afford brand new but a good second hand would be ideal.

Even if ye think d van is clean enough. When yer cleaning it out, there's always a black of sh## for d bin at d very least.

Anyway Riley no point asking croppie what's a good van. I think his answer might be a bit weighted towards 1 make.

 

[wetdrip]

Does it have a cup holder?

I did a lot of research - opinions, reviews, test drives. Went for a Nissan Primastar. Seems to be solidly built and well-liked.

My average mileage is 200 a day. My first job could be in Enniskillen then Belfast. Plus the trips to Dublin and Cork. This week was a low mileage week with only 400 on the clock.
