I recently got a new traffic sport...cracking. Only gripe is the other day I tried to lay a sheet of 8x2 gyproc flat in the back. The van was under 1" short of allowing the sheet in ! poor design or a ploy to sell more long wheel based vans ?...I dunno.

I wanted a new transit custom...but too expensive.

Surely you could afford one of each and have a chauffeur to drive you! :wink5:

Sorry JR, its all in good humour and I expect you'll get a bit more for a few months off all the chaps!
 
Couple of pictures for you George...

Like I said.. I really like it but I would have made the 12 small compartments smaller and had more of them. One thing I didn't say is that the racking is 12mm rather than the 15mm some companies offer. 12mm is absolutely fine, theres no play in it, its not sagging with weight on it and its less weight for the van to carry.

Yes.. I did use somewhere local Ply Lining | Van Ply Lining & Van Accessories so they may be no good for you.

I think all in it was about £430.. that was for the floor and sides plus a bulk head plus the racking.. all fitted, and it was done to a high standard. I was there for around 1.5 hrs whilst he fitted it. I guess you could save some money if you did it yourself, but the ply its self would have cost a fair bit, then (for me anyway) a couple of days to shape the ply and fit it (and not to as good a standard), so I was quite happy with £430.

Good luck.. Have a look at a few other examples though as you may see something that suits you better.

I also get the feeling that this van thinks it's better at cooking than everybody else.
You can't beat a bit of light hearted racism on a Saturday morning......Is it still racism if it's direct at the French??

Would only be xenophobia as the French aren't a different race. But they're fair game anyway, bit like Celtic supporters.
 
Steve, thanks for the prompt replies and the photos - appreciated mate. Notice you got the bulkhead ply'd too, I was thinking of getting that done also. Let's hope the work keeps coming in to pay for it!

I think the biggest sprinter with the twin rear wheels has the same capacity , but the Iveco has more torque though , and is less expensive to buy , The height in the Iveco would be great for storage , I would have thought you could create a box above the racking for tray and trunking etc, ,,
 
My brother ; who was a Leeds supporter like me back in the 70s , has believe it or not started supporting Man U in the last few years , but in the last 9 months or so has shown little interest in football , TYPICAL SCUM SUPPORTER ,,
