[SLIPPY]

That's a hard one! I'm getting hard just looking at my van!

im loving that van too tony...how much is that in a good secondhand nick...10 ish?bet that makes a good surf wagon too

There was one on the Autotrader website 2 weeks ago, Black, 56 plate, 80k for £10995 + vat. Arse has fallen out of second hand market. Mines done 43K and would prob fetch £13k ish + vat now. If you twist the dealers arm, youd get a new one for around £20k + vat. They are desperate at the moment.

That's cos it's a dryliners van. I get most of my materials delivered directly to site, so it's only carrying my tools, lights, stilts etc., and they're in a big ply box

So if she pegs it while she's working out in the gym, she won't be found until the first visitors arrive at Easter.

That Damn gym, i had to adjust all the metal for the ceilings cause it was wrong,then board it with pink after that dab the walls but all the windows are round portholes .... what a horrid b*****d job that was.
