maybe we should also include custom bike transpotrers in this tread too, not sure how many are out there but i know the hell team has a pretty kool transit? This is my express not much of a custom but its a start.

[David Lahey]

Alex, in theory, any van is a cool thing for transporting bikes and I'm jealous because I still haven't got a van yet, but why did you get a Misterbitchy when there are Fiats, Renaults, VWs, Vitos, Citroens and even Hyundai bike size vans?

[gasman]

Well dave for startes whats wrong with a Misterbitchy express tell me all you know. Also i'm 17yrs old price tags have a big influence, would have loved a mercedes. No offence but a hyundai that would just be embarassing...

[David Lahey]

I guess that means if I buy a Hyundai iLoad, I won't have to worry about any youngies drooling. Sounds good to me. Problem is I'm a bit stuck on wanting a Fiat or a Citroen.

[gasman]

Its pretty hard to get youngies excited over any kind van unless they are motorcycle fanatics. I didnt look at either of those so im no use to you, why have you narrowed it down to them two anyway??

[David Lahey]

The Fiat (Scudo) because:
I was a Fiat car nut as a youngster
They are reportedly good to drive
They win lots of awards
Fiat van owners have given me positive feedback
Fiat and Yamaha sponsor Valentino Rossi
They are good value and economical to run

The Citroen (Dispatch) because
They are reportedly good to drive and have very comfortable seats
They win lots of awards
They are good value and economical to run

Why not mercedes? You know there are way too many Vitos already in our trials club.

[gasman]

yer lots of mercedes. Had a look at those vans they may have all the right stuff but they look terrible, especially the iLoad take your kids to soccor practice in it, got nothin on the merc or mitsubishi.

Ah a fellow Fiat fancier.

What Fiats did you own as a youngster David?

My first was a 124 sedan, then a 128 3P, 850 coupe and finally a 124cc coupe with a 2Lt shoehorned into it.
