It died

[eggsarascal]

... But it did well. Me old Transit failed it's test yesterday on rust, and even at mates of mates rate it ain't worth spending on, so I've sold it to a breaker this morning for £300. I was sorting through the paperwork for it and it's cost me nextdoor to nothing. I gave three and a quarter for it knowing it needed sills, apart from a fuel pump it's had nothing apart from consumables. Do I get another Transit or look at something else is the question I ask myself.

A couple of people I know try to get vans and can't find anything.

Slight risk but it paid off

Well done. Enjoy it. I've always thought low Lutons would make excellent campers/livers.

Needs to take 4 of us to europe this August before my daughter goes off to uni.
Then I might get something smaller again. I do like the space inside though so we will see.
It's massive and beautifully sauare inside!
Going to spray the whole thing in raptor paint I think so it looks a little less removals.
