My crappy little van













The good bit is when folded up it only looks half as crap

Having said that while taking these pics 2 people have come up to me and said thats a nice little van you have and then a guy from down the street asked me if I want to sell it!    (prob needs a chicken shed)

I thought it was a covered skip

There lies your answer !!!  there is only one person you need to keep happy on this earth and that is you...........   The fact I would'nt be seen dead in it (sorry could'nt resist) has no bearing on you

I used to work at a Kia main dealer so I know there a good car we very rarly had any problems with them but you know what these snobs are like

I rate a motor as a means to get from A to B when it fails to do this it will be gone.

 

Why not paint your " Classic " Caravan a nice vintage shade like this one ?

I can understand that Kevin I don't think I want to be seen dead in it myself either LOL but remember many wouldn't want to be seen dead in a Kia either.

I do like that wondefully tongue in cheek answer, despite the fact that it just made me snort tea in a very unladylike fashion*

I don't think there's a deal of difference between an good old van and a new one in terms of the pleasure they bring - I figure everyone's just enjoying their hobby in their own way.  Some can afford more outright, some buy on finance, some have a small budget, some just prefer the quirkiness and retro appeal of an old van. 

I know we could buy a heck of an outfit on the never-never, but we'd rather spend just what we have in the pot and not get into debt - it's just personal choice.  And to be honest, if I thought anyone was looking down on me for my elderly caravan (when we finally find it), I'd be feeling genuinely sorry for them for being so darned shallow, rather than envious of their shiny kit.

*and despite the fact that I'm currently in the process of buying a Kia Ceed!
