Cheap mk3 TDI Mr  :wink:

Then you can get your baby over to carbon chip for the winter  :wink:

This, or Mk3 Van. You will get one of them for sub 500 notes too.  :cool:

This has now got my mind running wild!  :grin:

Mk3 estate with the windows taken out and some panels welded in, Back stripped out and some chipboard thrown in, 40mm lowering springs and some decent rims and you have a proper cool work van.  You can do that all that for your budget as well I reckon! :cool: :cool: :cool: :grin:

last year i had a skoda pick up. really liked it. 1.3 cheap to run but slow. sadly it was rear ended and written off.  only real complaint is you cant park anywhere with stuff in the back.



currently have a 1.9 sdi caddy van. it is reasonable good on fuel (90 miles to a tenner if you drive steady). it isnt fast by any stretch of the imagination but it is a van at the end of the day. the tdi's fetcha premium. i am happy with the performance, although when fully loaded i long for a turbo on the hills.  it happily trundles along the motorway at 70 though.

for the size of the vehicle they are rather spacious - i had 23 wheels with tyres in it the other night (only for storage purposes mind)
