ok so a little background info.
I have a ford mondeo hatchback.
I own a drumkit, which I cart around all over the place. I can get all the drums in no worries.
Problem:
my stepdad (bassist) has recently joined both the bands that I am in. he doesnt drive. I need to get his bass rig in the back as well. and it just wont fit.
I need a new car. I need to be able to get more than I can get into the mondeo.
I need reliability (loads of miles a year, certainly until I go abroad maybe later this year for work).
I do around 300-400miles a week (every other week if I am lucky)
I have the mondeo I can sell (or px, maybe 500quid) and I have 2500quid saved up.
insurance is not a problem.
I suppose I am looking for a hardcore estate (needs to be able to take a good weight)
or a large 4x4 (liking this idea)
or a people carrier (mum on a school run look isnt good for my rock star image)
I would just go and buy a posties van, but I could do with a little style as well really. a red battered posties van is exactly what I need though
. cant pull the birds in that one!
so, any ideas would be great so I can extend my search on autotrader.
cheers guys.
