I'm driving a Caddy 2005, solid carpeted bulkhead with window, british gas racking system, 150bhp remap, 16" passat sport alloys and rhino roof bars.
nice and nippy but it only does 40mpg
 
Got a Nissan Navara pickup now as a company car, automatic with all the toys but your lucky to get 25mpg from it.
 
Astra van 1.7DTI 52 plate.

57mpg :) A few scrapes and bumps but it does the job just fine.
 
Interesting!! Im looking at ordering one in January but not sure if to go for the maxi or not. Also did you get the inbuilt sat nav and if so can you shut the voice off? My partner has the new sportline transporter with the kenwood system which he cant turn off the sat nav voice and getting really pi**ed off with it.
 
Nissan NV200 tbe boss bought for me - 105 miles on the clock when I got it! Not a bad little van, but a few design flaws which let it down, IMO.
 
I got a Vauxhall Combo 07 plate...22000 on the clock, bargain at 3grand! limited to 70 unfortunatley as been ex-bt.

As for my driving, it's alot more steady now ive just got 6points. Brill start to the New Year, woohoo!
 
I drive to work in an office vehicle as I have just stepped to the start of my career and I am sure to get a vehicle to drive to work of my own soon.
 
2004 Vectra hatchback for me... 105k, always maintained and serviced by yours truly... Never missed a beat... (although I've probably jinxed it now!)

this is mine. 260 bhp :D
 
Old tank of a Vauxhall Frontera..it just wont die :devil: bought it years ago as a utility motor (s**t wagon in english) and it's never let me down :)
 
2005 Vauxhall Vectra Pre-Face estate 2.0 DTI varies between running well and something deciding to fall apart.
still weighs almost 1800Kg dry so with all my crap in it and the dog (all 23Kg of her)....probably touching 2000kg and still does 37+ mpg with my lead right foot....
 
BMW 1 Series Coupe lush (coz i love cars and am a nursey) but when i become a sparky id like a black sports van of some type and pink overalls hehe yay!
 
Now have a nissan navara. Weighs over 3ton without the kit. Get 30mpg when the employee drives. About 27mpg when I do.

I want a work dog :(
 
Combo 1.7di, great little workhorse, drove to spain the long way in it a couple of times. Thinking about upgrading to something bigger cos its annoying having to keep take everything out every time I want to go fishing or cut the grass on one of the houses.
 
first time ever i heard of someone cutting grass with a van. :willy_nilly:
