And one of these with a YB would be nice, but not tall enough to just wheel my bike in.

This is true.

But I can't be arsed and would prefer not to get poo on my hands

The idea of a vehicle I can just roll her into and tether to the side of is one of my ultimate luxury goals.

Sticking her on my roof carrier is such a pain in the bum. Ruins fuel economy too.

Why on earth not?

Never say never Nic.

Comfy, drives like a car. Good fuel economy.

Can be used as a van, a car, a bike transporter, or a camper van.

Perfect

Jolly good

I'm biased though. Had a Binz ambulance fetish since childhood.

Always fancied converting one to a multi purpose application.

As above..

Cheaper to buy than equivalent aged VW tank, Looks nicer, Drives like a car, comfortable, cheaper to insure, cheaper to run, doesn't sound like a Sherman tank..

all jokes aside, i do like my vw. its not going to lose me any money really so its not been the worst of purchases. a similar vito has lost about £1500 in value over the same period.

I'm talking about the Viano though Auto, cruise, satnav, leather, climate, electric everything..

I was talking to my Father in-law about a 95' T4 camper he had in for sale.. It was a wreck that he bought for cheap.. Its currently on eBay bid up to just under £4k with 24 bids and 2.5 days to go!

People are fucking mental to spend that much on such a piece of shit.

I think your just over excited as you have come from vauxhall corsa ownership, where no part is worth over £100
