Yeh serious
If I buy a van, I will only want to take it out for crap jobs like bike races mainly. If I bought a beater I could see myself using it instead of the M3. As it is, part of me wants to keep the M3 now - I cant really be bothered selling it either, its up to speed at the moment and I have a few trips to Belgium planned which would be nice in the Beemer + I fancy going to the ring.
My budget is 1K for the van, 500 quid for tax and insurance.
Should get a Berlingo Kangoo esc jobby for that.
Probably zero depreciation, so not much to be lost

Nope
Not even tried.
I cant be arsed, its only money. Ill probably keep it for 2 more years then get rid of. In all fairness the bulk of the depreciation is done, Itll drop much less now.
I may still buy a van.
Who knows I change ideas faster than the seasons!

Thats right folks - I've done it...........the new beast is coming -
Ok I decided to keep the M3 - have had all 4 wheels re-furbed - a proper job not some geezer doing them on the car - they are off the car, powder coat etc etc - slightly different to original but should look great - nbt cheap. Didnt want to take the depreciation hit and couldnt really decide what I really wanted.
So I have bought something else to add to the fleet
That right a a Renault Kangoo van, in silver, starship mileage, 1 owner, pretty tidy on a 51 plate - up for 995 kicked in the head down to 600 quid (I didnt work in sales for nothing) collecting in a few days Pictures to follow youll all be desperate to see these. The idea being - any crap jobs, bike races etc - Im in the Kangoo - anything else the Beemer is there for. Neither are gonna see loads of use, but at 600 quid who cares!
