A sales mate rep (yes: it is possible, occasionally, for someone to be both a rep and a mate!) swore blind that he had to permanently carry three 3x2s on the floor in the back of his Navarra otherwise the brakes didn't work properly.

The corsa will be amazing on fuel.

i keep a fair weight in tools, chains, etc in the back of mine properly 300-400kg handles a lot better with it in, back end gets a bit loose on sharp corner without it,

mates just got the VW top of the range amorak, its lovely but 30k for a big up, the hilux 3.0litre are looking a very good deal at mo though,

navara do a v6 haha

Im never going back to a pick up.....maybe a shogun commercial.

Bill my business partner has an L200 which we use for work, im going to use a the corsa just to nip around in for work, and use the L200 for heavier stuff.

The corsa is ace on fuel, 1.3 turbo diesel, like a little go kart lol.

Im going to get a nice car, something basic..... like a white bmw 335 ci

Navara has paid for itself for me. Got a bargain, it was 2 years old 40,000 miles on it when I got it for Â£7000

During the 2 crap winters we had I was the only one out and about delivering gas, everyone else was stuck in their yard. Downside was I was working from 4am until 11pm.

Looking into getting a smaller van though that runs on LPG, a berlingo or something converted so it's a flatbed. Will be a lot more efficient than running around town with a transit, a lot cheaper for me to buy LPG than diesel too.

When i bought mine it had 5 previous owners with 25k on the clock :rock: (obviously clocked) for 11 grand, sold it for 6k. You got a bargain there. Still hate them though lol

a very popular pick up dan :;):
maybe they just kept selling it cos it was shite
cabstar is still handy for us but i wouldnt mind a transit connect for a runabout,very good little vans and you can get a mixer and barrow in them

I remember picking up a load of Porcenlenosa from their depot just outside Birmingham Airport. I hoofed the Toyota Hilux Invincible I was in into a dipped roundabout, thinking ,mistakenly, it would be like s**to a blanket, I found out it was not the case. It dodged about like I was on dough tyres.

Last time I ever wanted to have/drive a pick up.:p
