We all have them, but what type of vehicle do you use for work, and what do you think are the benefit's / drawbacks?

I have an Astra 1.7 Envoy estate, (livered up like an ice cream van!! )It's rather basic with no CD or Air Con (I've been spoiled in the past!) but does boast Power steering, electric windows, central locking, air bags and returns around 54 mpg without my ladders and 48mpg with. It does the job and although quite basic I benefit tax-wise

Yesterday i took delivery of a brand spanking new Vauxhall Vivaro 1.9CDTI in silver, CD player, central locking, Bulkhead and a very sturdy roof rack.

Took it on a 3 year lease including full maintenance with Vauxhall leasing.

Strangely enough the insurance was only£480, £40 more than my old VW Transporter which was on a T plate and 2nd hand.

new stickers next week...

The proper Nacoss logo in GOLD! (just to satisfy our Nacoss insp, who documented it as a non-compliance...)

and the web address

the reason we kept the old logo was it had the crown emblem on it, which meant we couldnt get clamped or get parking tickets....

Ian who is your insurance with I would be interested in knowing

Crushed nuts?

I drive a Renault Kangoo van. Great for fitting loads into, but a problem to park - can't get into any multi-storey car parks, or any areas with a height restriction of less than 2.3m. Thats where you score with a car or car-derived van..

Brand new o4 plate silver(can actually choose colour)ford focus estate, 1.8 tdci engine with zetec spec so got alloys cd player air con etc, but most importantly a car kit for the phone!! as for ladders i have a pair of 4 traed steps on the back seat(when i can be bothered carrying them) oh and the best bit is..... We actually get a choice of focus estate or hatchback and citroen picasso with NO SIGNWRITING OR STICKERS OR ANYTHING!!! really do feel sorry for the //.National Installer.// guys.

I heard a rumour tho from a previous company that the leese companys dont like the cars signwritten as its a pain to get off when they want to sell the cars after the leese has run out

but most importantly a car kit for the phone!!

I cant believe there are companies that supply a car and a phone but don't supply a car kit!

P.s. Adrian do you live on a campsite? whats with the tent next door?

B) very funny Peter no its just the play thing the kids next door have.
