what van do you drive????

[boblydon]

Just curiuos as to what is the most common van that gas fitters use, here in Newcastle fords seem very popular.

I have a merc vito which i cant fault, i have had it since new (3.5years) and not had any problems with it, cant see the point in spending 22k on a new one, plus i dont want another 3 years of debt.

So what is every one driving around in??

Ex BT Vivaro, best van I've had can't fault it.

 

[GQuigley67]

Transit Mk7 swb, 90k+ on the clock hope it lasts

 

[REDSAW]

Transit jumbo 350, 125ps
too big too fast (120mph) = 3 points.lol.

Willing to sell or swap for smaller?.
