Rob, I am in Portsmouth. I have a set of roof bars that are suitable for vehicles with the gutters along the side of the roof. If your car has those, then you are welcome to use them until you get your van.

Keep going with the canvassing. Try the late afternoon / early evening and Saturdays. You may get a better response then.

Personally, I thimk the 2 weeks after Xmas for canvassing is a waste of time....my opinion only ;D...... why not leaflet like wotsit for the next 2 weeks and then start following up with door knocking after that. Keep at it you will get there, but this year will probably be a tougher one than most ;)

Roof racks, have you any scrap cars dealers/yards near you....could always adapt a close match, that would see you through until you get a new van...try asking local garage mechanics you never just know what they may have in their back yard ;D

thanks for the offer ian unfortunatley the car doesn't have gutters

popped into the scrappy this afternoon nothing to be found  so i will have to look on ebay i think.

i am having some leaflets done at the moment so will have another go next week.
 i am working my other job this weekend.

I really hope this year is a successful one i know where i want to be by the end of the year but it's going to take hard work,  lots lol!

thanks for the help and advice guys and gals
