Tbh it needs a wipe in a few places, but it's bloody decent. It's 15 mins work with a cleaner to be lovely though.

I'll get the das6 polisher out next week when bored for a bit.

It is, until you take the seats out, then it's a van that carries everything

I'm picking her up from the airport in it next Thurs :)

I was going to hide it from her till then but couldn't resist.
It’s exactly like the car we normally get picked up from the airport in :D

So is it a keeper for a few month. I got to drive one in Germany for a few hours. It did feel like a nice drive but i was concentrating on being in a left hand drive to much to appreciate the ride. My mate loved it even though it was a works van.

When you get it, just go and sit in the back seat and look at a that lovely space its got.
Don't go nuts converting it, a good multi use space/tin tent is just great to have.

Only think I want really is a front wheel chock for the zx6, @Couchy mounted his on a piece of ply which seems a good idea.

Then possibly 2 similar but MTB versions.

Or similar.

Research needed.

I must admit I had no idea they were so expensive. My car came with two keys and one had the AMG battery cover, I should stick it on ebay!

I've one similar to this: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/264016044142 ... Sw71ViDhys

Push the bike in and it'll stay upright while you strap it down. It doesn't cope well with narrow tyres, that's 1980s trail bike narrow, 2.75".

Aye, that's the plan matey. It's the same as most mates use and same essentially as what's on my ERDE trailer that's now listed for sale. It'll do the job nicely. The only problem comes with hot sticky tyres and things can get a little sticky :D
