pmsl, jackanory time
LDV's are officially the shittest of all vans
*nods*
I am saying goodbye to our last LDV in the line up this week, and good riddance.
I have to say our 08 plate Transit with flippy seats and rear cage is growing on me all the time - does about 30mpg bezzing around with the groups in at work, seems to get near 40 on long runs. I was talking with a colleague about looking into one with six seats (2x rows of 3) and a biiiig boot for bikes n stuff.
.
Does anyone know if you can get bikes stowed vertically inside a standard roof Transit, front wheel off? I am trying to work out if I could get 5 across vertically in the back, with a 'front' accessible boot/storage area behind the second row of seats.
Did the OP (racing_ralph) ever buy a van after starting this epic thread?
Dunno, but if he did, he's probably sold it by now, or broken it up for tat. 😉
lol
thats the yin to my bongo's yang!
That is awesome
you wouldnt actualy need a house if you had that
trailer trash 8)
where was that bus when I was thinking of getting a van, going be a bit tight getting to some of the trails or the parking at a gorrick race 🙂
bump - still hankering after a van!!
yeah I like this thread & toying with the idea myself. More vans please!
Vauxhall Combo 1.7D. 4 large bikes in with the wheels on, 9(!) with wheels off. Rubber floors front and back means its great for biking. Fancy making me an offer?
selling the rear rubber floor out of the combo?
Good thread, just getting my LWB Semi High transit MOT'd prior to sale in the New Year and getting a smaller van so will be just using one vehicle and get rid of the car.
Had Pug Partner for a couple years that was great, something in between the two needed now as needs to hold enduro bike too.
let us know what you get mccett and post some pics
Will do - probably going to be predictable T4/T5 for everyday use. Anyone got idea on mounting a full length Fiamma awning to the side? I'm guessing some sort of roof rack for starters and bolt to that? Awning came off my old Merc 308 mx van and want to re-use.
