Let's see your setup then!

[Duncs]

True, they can steal ladders firm any van though, most wfp guys have ladders on the old roof bars, well, I do... Wouldn't be without me ladder, that's for sure!
Not much to steal inside a trad van...

Unless someone really wants a £10 squeegee....

i,ve taken the ladders of my van and have short triple inside van

ok this is,int the best situation but for how often they are used works well for me

but main thing no chance off ladders coming of top off van

Love the mini, not sure it'd take much water though!

I carry 125 litres at a time , when I run out or get low I just go home and swap containers. It's perfect for me at the moment . I'm in the middle of fitting out my van for the bigger and winter jobs.

I didn't think is was actually yours! I thought you just posted a picture of the Internet!

Love it, but my problem would be running out of water within a few hours, 125 litres isn't enough for me,

Great little setup though, bet you get lots of funny looks when out at work?!

 

[Jake]

Also where do you keep your pole? Does it even fit in the mini??

Haha nope, I accept full responsibility. Yeah you get a lot of funny looks. Most people are really intrigued and smiley though.

First cleans are eating up the water like nothing but I'm probably going over the top if I'm honest. The area I cover is roughly a 13 mile radius. But as I say it only takes me about 15 minutes to get from any furthest customer to get home and re-load . Using an aquatap as well so that helps a bit.

I'm using a gardiners slxii 22 which fits perfectly. Brush head sits on the rear parcel shelf while the rest of the pole lays neatly between front seats and sits short of the gearstick.

I've a bucket with trad tools which sits on top of the 5th water container behind the passenger seat.

Next month I'm going to buy extension #6 and #7 ... Then things might get tricky but there's always a solution...I hope lol

Awsome mate,

Awsome mate, I love it, only issue is ladders?

Its the sort of thing that I'd love to have if I was a part time window cleaner though! Qwerky, fun, and different!

Wouldn't fit ma pressure washer in one though, that's for sure!

He could always put a roof rack on. so no issues with ladders....if he ever needed them.

...and for the PW, he could always take the front passenger seat out....

....or.....cooler than cool can be..... buy another Mini and convert it to a trailer.....something like this :thumbsup:......

Yeah he could have a roof rack but he doesn't, that's why I was alluding to the issue. But yeah a roof rack would work!

There's no way my pressure washer fit in the front of a mini, it's bloody massive!

I believe people reflect your expectations of them right back to you.
Expect someone to be a little sh*t long enough and eventually it will happen as they will get bored of fighting it.

Always look on the bright side! If I did not believe in the inherent decency of fellow man I might as well jut go hang myself right now as what's the point?

Being from london Green you should know if it ain't locked down we'll have it away

 

[Dave B]

I did my apprentiship in a bodyshop

For people who know how a vehicle is put together no amount of security will make it safe

I also have done a little recovery driving and i know for a fact there is no ford, vauxhall or Citroën i couldn't get into in over 30 seconds

Imo immobilisers etc are just false security against those in the know

 

[Smurf]

I just got a new car for the wife....well cost 300 squid actualy which is less than you would pay for a decent alarm thesedays. Anyone that wants to nick it is welcome to have it /emoticons/biggrin.png

 

[Smurf]

At 150 bhp my wife now thinks she is a boy racer. Bless :laugh:

 

[Jimroot]

My van is 70 bhp, I'm quicker on me crutches /emoticons/smile.png. Looked it up, actually it's 60 bhp

Fastest car I had was a turbo d 2lL at about 116bhp and that was fast, so your wife should be laughing at the lights

 

[Dave B]

Fastest i had was 375bhp sapphire cosworth

Rear wheel drive with 4wd bodykit

But more fun was the 225 bhp escort s2 rs turbo

Used to race bikes with it
