Everyone's poor in Yorkshire, we have a place in Sheffield called Corncorde but as close as we get to it!

I know everyone says it, and people were telling me but... I wish I'd got a bigger van. ::)

Even just another foot on a mwb would make all the difference, although I'd probably be moaning about parking difficulties if I had.

Considering sorting a frame for the water tank and put the TM above.

You be alright with a Prowler Clinton. ;)

Need to be careful making your own as they need baffles, Alltec sell under TM tanks for £995 as do HM.

That's why I use a swb, went to a house today which was road side, a swb van is about the same length as a midium ish car so I just swapped places with him.

I would have blocked the street as it was quite a narrow road and someone was parked on the other side of the road.

I was on my way to a job the other week and went through Helston Town centre, the street was completely blocked by a bin lorry with it's hazards flashing... 5 minutes passed and the operatives were nowhere to be seen and the town is in grid lock. Then the two blokes came walking out of the pasty shop as cool as you like and got back in the lorry and drove off.....

I can't wait 'til I can do that ;D

As Goron said a while back, down here in Cornwall the roads are so narrow!

Like yourself Clinton, I'd like a tri vac first and then a new, bigger van.... Perhaps a VW with 6 seats (3 removable) so we can loose the Discovery (Diesel munching machine) and go back to being a 2 car family... The TM can wait until I have the demand. (i.e. more jobs to crack out in a day)
I got £670 for the back up machine and the new owners came over from Wembley for it.... in a Ford Focus :o :o :o

They got it in somehow! I'm sticking with the one machine for now as I find it easy enough to work on when things go wrong :-\

Collin

Thats the way to go mate and even though i have a good client base i find i can manage but thought i would get the 3 vac first for more power  then a new van and then move up to prowler as well,thing is i dont want to be just working all day every day as i have free time to do my hobbies ie biking and gym etc.

Just thought i need to upgrade this yr so then i will be set up for many years to come as i havnt upgrade for years :)

Just you need the work to justify the t mount and dont forget it needs fuel.

Yes you can manage with just your 1 machine and i had 2 back ups that i sold because of the room they took lol.

We have small roads also and back to back terraced houses where you have to park in the gennel but you do it as the prize is money.
