fwd v rwd thoughts?

[Christian Smith]

It's tempting, but I'd never get parked on half my jobs, also thinking about the likelihood of having other staff members driving so new licences all round. I tend to favour lightweight, love my ms151 it never leaves my hand and have a skarper c90 chipper. For London work it seems to work. Mind to go to the dump every other week, ?

If you're in town I would say Nissan. I sub to a firm near Cambridge, taking that down the narrow streets and driveways the turning circle is brilliant which correspondingly makes reversing the chipper easier.

The boat on choppy sea feeling can be reduced by also driving a Defender. Then the Nissan feels quiet, smooth, fast, spacious...

Iv had one of my Renault since 2009 and I can count on my hands how many times Iv had it stuck 

( if the field is soft u don’t go on it ) 

I run 2 Renault masters and Iv not had many problems with the considering how much weight they carry every day

Thanks for the info, I barely leave tarmac to be honest so I'm sure I've been worrying about nothing. I've bit the bullet and placed an order for a brand new Nissan nv400 which I should be receiving in September so fingers crossed.
