Decided the previous Van i picked up wasn't going to be big enough having actually got my hands on it. Luckily as it was family, we'd had the discussion when i picked it up. He said i could take it and then make a decision once i got home and would delay transferring the V5 etc as it's covered under his work insurance. I just needed to Tax it.
It drove great and i went to Liverpool to pick up some car seats for the Jeep in Spain (part of the reason i need a bigger van - I've also bought a soft top roof and centre console!)
Saturday i went and bought a bigger Van. Cycled to Blackpool to pick it up in ******* rain. Drove "ok" when i tried it. Only has 5 gears vs the 6 of the Mercedes and feels more like a van. But storage space is massive and it's over a grand cheaper than the Mercedes version. Has been an ex trades van though and was considerably tattier so needs a decent clean.
The radio is also a horrible thing to use after a few journeys having to rely on it. Usually ending up just driving in silence. So bought a Bluetooth Aux thing and phone holder
Then for the ferry we need to muzzle the dog. Not sure he's a fan of the hannibal lector look. Need to keep putting it on him every day or so to get him used to wearing it.
etc..)
