Picked up a Peugeot Bipper this afternoon, 09 plate 75k on the clock, timing belt done 4k miles ago, full service history. I’m going to put a new clutch in it on Monday, it will come with 12 months ticket. £1750-£2k depending on what it needs, if anything, when it goes in for the MOT.

The pictures are on here somewhere. Rupe was called out to the scene where the car was dumped, still a few dildos left in the boot 😂

 

Find the post please because that's superb.

Bet it was round the back door too, less conspicuous

 

Takes a lot more prep work though. Very secure, those back doors.

Bullshods van insurance is the same written or not and magnets are for pikeys.

What a croc, the lass I’m kicking about with is an insurance broker, with her company, and many other insurance companies there is a 10-15% uplift for sign written vans. As for magnetic signs being for pikeys I don’t think I’ve ever read such nonsense, I can’t remember the last time I saw a traveller with magnetic signs, and I mix with quite a few. 
 

Some of us don’t have any option, well, we do but I wouldn’t get the subby work I get if my van was sign written.

😂 I'm glad this thread brought back some good memories

 

Seriously considering a Subaru now...

 

I would need space for a baby seat so probably a need bulkhead away from fuels and fumes if it was a crew van.

 

I wouldn't sign write anything, was just joking about the florists

 

A lot of it comes down to personal requirements for sure but glad to have some other ideas

I used to run an old pickup. Changed it for a 17 Peugeot Partner.

 

The pickup was way more fun to drive and comfier, but the van gets 50mpg without trying, is clean air exempt (euro 6) and saves me £500-1000 every mot.

 

Kit is way more secure than when it was in the truck, and the fuel savings are literally covering the repayments. Its basically a free van.

 

The cab is a tardis too. Storage for days. I had i child seat for my daughter, seatbelt one as no isofix. She's in a booster seat now.

 

Mine is the 3 seat version. In hindsight id have gone for the 2 seater and taken the extra cab room. 3 people up front is a desperate measure.

Give it a week then the engine will go pop.

 

Bad bad bad choice there
