Not bad vans those. The one I thrashed around for a couple of days was surprisingly good.

I'm pleased to hear some good reports of them.
I've no experience of even being close enough to touch one. I even googled earlier to see what the interior looks like...
Different, was the answer.

Cheap interiors. No cup holders

I don't think my fleet has changed this year due to lack of funds.

Kept on the street outside the flat:
Triumph Doloshite 1300 - Engine exploderated, new engine in process of being built by somebody who isn't me so it might work when done. MOT/tax exempt.
Triumph Acclaim - Only functional car, rusty as fuck. MOT'd till May.

Kept in a field 200 miles away:
Triumph Dolomite 1850HL - Rotten field ornament, still runs and drives. MOT/tax exempt.

At last after many years of leasing dailys I am about to ditch the ball and chain

Both myself and Sam had dailys me a Gold Diseasel and Sam a Toybota Hibreeeed

Well Friday just gone the wee Toybota left the fleet after 3.5 years of service.

Sam is moving onto a company fleet car so we have decided to share one daily

Most of the time im a passenger in the car I dont drive as much as I used to so as we are either in the car together or if i need the car its not that often and I could drop Sam off at work and keep the car for the day theres no real need to have 2x dailys

With that in mind my Volkskragoned Dieselgate is leaving the fleet too a week Friday after nearly 5 years and 60k of hard abuse!

I will sort of miss the old nail though its not held up as well as previous Golfs they are not made as well as they once where

Next in the Cull list though not necessarily before the end of the year Sams Mustang

Its still on the fleet but its days are numbered........................

Its Ironic but Sam got it just how she wanted this year by changing the wheel colour to anthacite and ditching the blingy wheel spinners but she has had her fun with it and wants something else. She cant decide on either an older classic or a new car? Cant see the point of new as we already agreed car share but yeh more than likely if its not gone this year it will leave the fleet next year Its been fun but though its utterly reliable it lacks old school charm and has no soul

And Finally

Shitey Wobstang II (His Royal Shineyness)

The little arse is staying on fleet cant see me ever parting with the little shit!

It has been a rollercoaster year so far come so much done yet far from finished!

Next year I will get the interior up to scratch,wheels will change and ive decided to ditch the chinese Summit Car and intake for USA Holley and Wieand replacements.

I just want to finish Shitey and enjoy him more

Paint has now been cut and machine polished and looks amazing!

Ive amounted a small not inconsiderate mountain of raplacement interior parts in better order than mine yet the wrong colour next year they will be recoloured and swapped over

So thats about it! More news on Shitey soon

Please feel free to add your end of year reports as and when

Update

Hoping for a Tradesman to be honest but might end up with an Econoline?

But do fancy a slice of Mopar for a change

Borrow the Van or the Mustang?

I could easily cope with LHD its dailying a V8 full time that hurts

I've had a very drawn out parting with a couple of vehicles this year. I've already mentioned that I sold my P4 in May but it's still not been collected. Earlier I sold my lorry, but was recently asked if I wanted to buy it back: I declined. Here are the 2 of them together, makes me a bit wistful as I had a fair bit of work for both of them, but at one point I had 12 vehicles on the road, too much upkeep.

And yes, Jo, LPG is still around, the Rover had just filled up with the stuff.
