Title: Smallest van with most equipment
Post by: Shaun_Ashmore on November 10, 2015, 12:55:14 pm
It's only Tuesday and my mind has started to wander, who has the smallest van and what equipment do you get in there?

I once borrowed a Ford Fiesta and got a vax buffer a small hwe pipes wand turbo buckets and shampoo and spotting kit but it was crushed and it was only for a day.

Shaun, waiting for a now late customer grrr

Good old Fiestas, when my van wouldn't start one Saturday morning years ago and I had a commercial I had to do that day, I got a Ninja and pipes and christ knows what else in the Mrs Fiesta to get the job done.
