Thank you, I will certainly be back if things improve.

Thank you Brian, I am sure she will as bought by a forum member. I will let him spill the beans :laughing: I loved my van but I spread myself too thinly at times and I couldn't do her justice. Too many toys, no job and a drained bank account meant it was time to pass her on to a caring new home.

SOLD subject to payment and collection.

I would have thought the OBVIOUS place anyone wanting one would look is the FOR SALE adverts but there we go obviously I was wrong. I have a couple of people interested that did read the For Sale section so will leave it for now, thanks anyway.
