"I thought this was going to be about vans trainers.
Dissapointing.
I thought it was going to be about sex in the back of vans
Also disappointing  "
We regularly have sexy fun in the back of our Iveco Daily camper van does that count |

I have a Citroen relay and can’t say I’d recommend it. Electrics are a nightmare, and despite it having the transit 2.2 HDI engine, which has loads of power and not being bad on MPG it’s a noisy engine and has been plagued by injector seat problems, had to have a dual mass flywheel and clutch replaced at 80k miles, plus a starter motor..
But it the long wheelbase, plenty of space and the van itself is light, so has the highest load capacity weight wise, in the class.. |

Vans are great. Got mine lined out and mint in the back. Drop a double airbed in and mobile fun everywhere.
I've had many an occasion in summer where we've parked up with the side door open and shagging in a layby. Cars often go by, turn around and come back slowly for a 2nd look, lol. Plenty of horn honking as they go by.
Vivaro/Traffic are okay, cheap to buy but older ones can be plagued with electrical faults due to aluminium wiring giving the neutral switching false resistances. Fault diagnosis is easy with an OpCom tool and laptop |

Business I work for have/had Mercs, Fords, Renaults, Citroens. None really stand out from the rest.
Adblue and EGR systems are real issues these days.
Unnecessary complications that do let you down. |

"I've got a huge collection of Vans..... but I do love my white and yellow checkered ones the best!  "
My favourites are my pink hello kitty ones..... or my black hello kitty ones ....maybe my blue hello kitty ones  |
