Right guys, time as come for a new van. Now my boss has put a deposit down on one, which is a great spec and just what i wanted BUT its white, i'd have rather it been a different colour.

 

Now, this isnt an issue as my boss has said "if you want to, go get it resprayed as I know you dont really want to be white van man..."

 

Which I dont, but im just not sure wether getting it resprayed isnt taking the piss a bit, although they did offer?

 

And lets say I did get it resprayed into a different colour... what colour should i go for?

 

My currant kangoo is silver and it looks quite good with the dirt on it (i.e doesnt show it!)

 

By the way, its a new Astravan Sportif...

 

Advice please! :D

Well Blackpool should be a treat :rofl: Make sure you get yourself some Blackpool rock LOL.

 

I like to drive but i'm not sure i could do that kinda mileage lol.

You have made a wise choice mate.

Keep it white, and its a pity you aint up here !!

Ply lining with insulation, 19mm hard wood floor, 4 lashing rings all for £150.

 

Alan.........

Cheers for the quote, companies based in Glasgow so your not far from the office...!

I'll bear it in mind and see when im going to be next up there.

 

Done around 300 miles today in it and its done very well, 390 miles on 36 litres, silly really considerably more economical than my old kangoo already, even though its not run in yet. Quite enjoying driving it, feels like a car (as you'd expect!)

Now run in, according to the manual! Its now got 1230 miles on the clock... bearing in mind it had 64 on it on sunday afternoon I think i've done fairly well! Its been a tiring week I have to say.

Hell fire it doesnt half shift for a van, its quicker than most cars out on the road! Accelerating away from roundabouts is quite enjoyable!

 

Once its plylined and insulated to calme a bit of the rear end noise I'd recommend it to anyone. Although don't bother with the satnav, its pretty crap as you would expect!
