They must be ok for inside town use. Thanks that could be just the thing. Depending on range between charge. 34 minutes ago, Buckster said: Girl vans.

Slowlycatchymonkey Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 This vans not for me, I’m happy with the Vito or the Transit. Will be used for smaller deliveries and collections in and around Bristol/Taunton so doesn’t need much range on it, minimum 80 miles but preferably more. Have one eye one whats going to happen with the clean air zones (CAZ). Bristols CAZ is currently tiny and not harsh (euro 4 and above plus some other rules) but theres no way it’ll stop there. Don’t want to be lumbered with something that the resale value drops through the floor once they change the rules and the new restrictions have finally sunk in with the mouth breathers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slowlycatchymonkey Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 Ordering a cabinet, nothing special, just a single door metal cabinet, from the usual racking/shelving suppliers, can’t believe how much the prices have increased. They want £306.60 and £25 delivery. WTAF, that’s over £100 more than 2 years ago 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catteeclan Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 Done next to FA today. Mandi got back from Singapore about 9.30 this morn and is doing almost everything possible to stay awake till about 7 tonight trying to get herself back into British time. All they had to eat was chicken, pork and beef with either rice or noddles although the salad bar took a hammering after all were bored of the same thing. First thing she had when home was a bowl of wheatabix with cold milk, went and had a costa coffee then home for bacon butties. Northern girl through and through. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not buying electric, they want far far too much money for potentially soon to be redundant tech, like you suggest going to go for something like the Euro 6 fiesta Why diesel? Cos of the running cost? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slowlycatchymonkey Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 @boboneleg have seen a flat in Redcliffe that looks alright, comes with allocated parking which is unheard of in the centre so going to have a look. Apart from being stupid over priced is there anything I need to know about Redcliffe? Looks clean, tidy and undruggy.. for Bristol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
