My mk2 abf in vgc gets used all year round, hammered wind rain or shine. No back seats to allow for sds drills, toolbags, boots etc. Brilliant all year round, apart from on rough sites where being slammed can be an issue, and the snow being plowed, and lack of grip. I'd like maybe a van for the winter, and the mk2 all other times.. True dubber- none of this part time 1/3 malarchy!!
