Which Comes First ..............

[Evans Electric]

.................your car or your van ? 

 

[Andy™]

first for what?

probably my van

 

[SPECIAL LOCATION]

In a standing start 1mile race???

:C

 

[NozSpark]

Van probably,,,, but then again we only pay for the fuel in the car

 

[Evans Electric]

I was thinking in terms of care & attention , servicing etc

 

[Andy™]

van. if my car isnt working i can easily manage with that. if the van isnt working then its a little more awkward...

 

[NozSpark]

The van is a tool that allows you to work,, if its off the road you cannot work and therefore earn money,,, so I'd hazard a guess that the van is more important to most of us

 

[misssweden]

Car, but only because i dont own the van. I clean it more regularly than the car though.

 

[m4tty]

Van hands down

 

[Sharpend]

Why? Thought you only serviced both recently.................

What you gone and done!!!

 

[kerching]

For me?

Works vehicle every time

My old Tardis died 10 days ago.....bloody carp German engineering....240,000 miles and it sheared a half shaft. So,we had to shoot it.

Mind you it was M Regd!

So since I have a bit of 'time on my hands' at present I am busy kitting out my NEW taradis

Pictures will,follow,,probably.

In my view , my Van is just a toolbox on wheels,that gets me to a job.....NO tools....NO coin

 

[Andy™]

doesnt a Tardis rebuild its self?!

 

[NozSpark]

What make is the Tardis Kerch?

 

[kerching]

doesnt a Tardis rebuild its self?!

Yes, but in this case their was a fissure in the space time continuum and it reincarnated itself as a pile of scrap metal!

What make is the Tardis Kerch?

"New" transport is a Kia Sedona 7 seater MPV!

Seats are easily removed and have been put into storage

Windows tinted so that it looks to,any passers by like an ordinary MPV, also so I can still use it to go,to the tip. If the windows were "boarded up" it would be classed as a van

I love my van, after 5 years it's kitted out with all sorts of stuff, like the dog toys for a walk in the park, asprin, cans of drink under the seat etc, etc. Cars are crap, just don't carry enough stuff, like bicycles when required :^O

It is very much a work vehicle, but I love the elevated driving position, and the general flexibility.

Thats what brought it to mind Sharpie .  I did the wife's car first and then it was "  We need to go to the shops "    On saying it was the van next we had "  You spend more time on that van, it was wheels last week !!!  "      

     Yes I had to replace two damaged wheels but like others on here , can't work without a van .

 

[Steve3948]

Don't get in the car much, let the wife drive and deal with it, I always get in passenger side when we do go out in it.

Van, get it serviced each year although manufacturer say's every 18,000 miles.

I get in it drive it and get out, thats it, just another tool to me.

 

[Sharpend]

Very few women will understand the bond between the man and his van, that is until the money stops flowing. Then they have plenty to say about why you've not been maintaining the van!!!!

It's a Mars Venus thing apparently?

Van is my baby, its a dream i have had for years which has finally come true.

Its had the paintwork corrected by a detailer just after i got her.

I have now entered the world of detailing, detailing world forum is my guru.

weekend before last i spent a couple hours on the wheels on saturday.

rinsed

Valet pro citrus pre wash (traffic film remover)

rinsed

Valet pro dragons breath (iron out)

rinsed

dried with micro fiber

Sonax detailing spray

buffed with micro fiber cloths

Sonax nano wheel rim sealant  ( should last months if i dont use Iron out on it too much)

Sunday between dinner i got 4-5 hours on the body work

rinsed

Valet pro snow foamed with snow foam lance.

rinsed

Washed sonax PH neutral shampoo

rinsed

patted dry with micro fiber towel

(washing and drying done panel by panel due to heat)

Sonax extreme shine detailing spray

Sonax NPT extreme protect (lasts 6 months, my 2nd coat since april, will do another before winter)

tyres dressed with Maguiars and applicator.

Windows cleaned with autoglym glass polish.

never had time to touch the inside

Its so nice and quiet outside cleaning the van, misses and children leave me alone, its fantastic.



Only 3 seats so the misses and kids cant fit in. They have to ride in my old BMW, which i dont mind taking to the super market, kids can eat in it and make a mess. When its just me and the kids we can do wheel spins and a little sideways action.

If i wrote the car off i wouldnt be surprised or too upset. Scratch on my new van and i start sweating.

I pressure wash my car. Usually just high pressure water, don't usually even use detergent!
