I know it's not a great picture, but this was taken in Mlada Boselav in Czech. Those parts were squeezed onto the rear seats and we then drove back to Zeebreugge in one go (took 14 hours). We averaged 45mpg and completed our 4,000 mile journey around Europe.

I got a double bed in the back of my clubby estate, although the base was cut up and the matress was folded over, i'll never forget the look on the blokes face at the tip ;D

What with the price of fuel & it's thirst for it it has to earn it's keep buddy!

Hauling a bunch of wheels from there to somewhere else. Gave a nice bit of tuck

Don't have many pictures of it actually doing much work, because it was normally just a run to and from the tip full of trash. Was mighty useful for collecting Christmas trees too.


Bluebird 1.6LX made light work of shifting it too, averaged 44mpg on the journey from up north to down south. Odd because with the trailer detached it managed a pathetic 32mpg going about the same distance.

I should have got some pics of the delica when I collected some fenceposts last week, it didn't mind the strain but when I parked it on my parent's sloped drive, there was only about 3" between towbar and floor.... oops!

[jizzy gillespie]

this was 6x5x7 home made rabbit shed,all 4x2 frame and t and g , with all the rabbit cages and rabbits still in it! took six lads to lift it in and out.

its the beverly hillbillies look yo ;D

its gets used almost daily to cart about riduclous amounts of curse word, feel a bit guilty about sometimes but, hell , thats what it was built for.

Swmbo bought a tree at the garden centre, P6b has a loose roof, Corsa didn't.....

Pollen gets everywhere.
