In an attempt to prove that I'm not a scruffy, disorganised oaf after the photos of the inside of my van, I'm putting up a few pictures of how my van normally looks! Some people think its a bit of a loud colour and a bit 'chavvy' but it is fully functional! Its direct from the AA and due to its colour has got me several jobs in my small town. Its named after my daughter (Eddie Stobart trucks) and is the second van I've had in this colour as it gets noticed so well. So what do you all drive, and are your vans/cars a useful way of getting work?

Not too keen on the yelow as i had a yellow midi van years ago which i hated. It rusted all over and looked like an over ripe banana before the engine finally let go.

Tommy, i love that caddy. Sadly they are too small for me otherwise id definitely have one. I love the smooth back end, everyone like a smooth back end 😉
 
Love Caddy vans too.

Can't believe you guys have got the biggest area on your vans blank with no signage on! It's the first thing I'd do!

Not good business practice to spend money where you don't need to, and long may it stay that way. In different circumstances, maybe..... but until then, i like my vans clean and shiny and letter free!
 
My signing brings in quite a bit of work.. so it can work for some and maybe not others..

I used to like modifying cars in my younger days but now I'm 30 and probably need to grow up a bit! Haven't really spent that much on it, got the wheels when the old tyres needed replacing and a mate of mine works in the body shop a Fords so he did a bit of colour coding in exchange for a few metres of wall tiling! I've lost count or the amount of times someone has phoned me and said " I got your number off your van, can't miss that, can you!"
 
Like the black alloys, We used to run Transits, of course when they brought out the "sport" transit in 2007 we got one of them, got it sign-written, it turned alot of heads. Also due to the weight of stuff in the back it Turned the alloys oval in no time at all unfortunately, a real shame!
 
Ok heres mine, its another old van and this is from a few years ago when i used to do the illuminations for high streets and shopping centres. This was the only way to get them from the stores to the precinct
