Just got a Peugeot 206 1.9 diesel van off ebay for 1400 quid. Only 1 owner with 51k on clock and full service history. Does me a treat at the moment as like most others was using car initially.Get more than enough stuff in for tiling!!

Not too much mate - Wall and Floor Tiling in BIG BIG letter and your Phone Number just as bit - then your company name on the door - not so big. Maybe a logo of your own - not the TTA's or any trade organisation

Had lots of materials in van Tysfoot. 6 bags floor adhesive (120kgs) plus 4 wall adhesive, 4 bags grout, plus dry cutter, 2 wet cutters and all rest of tools. No problem with weight. Pulled like a good un!!

i remember when i first started i had a mini mind you my tools consisted of a level , hand scriber, pinchers, pencil and a trowel

I'm also looking at getting myself a van. I'm thinking of getting something small like vauxhall combo, citeron Berlingo, suzuki super carry (although this thing looks like a death trap).
I'd get all my tools in any of these vans but more importantly i need something big enough to fit a couple of mountain bikes in the back (without taking the wheels off) so If I ever get a free day or two I can sling the bikes in the back and drive to my local trails forest.

I know a few of you in the forums are keen on flinging yourselfs down the nearest hill on bikes so maybe you could help me decide.

Thanks
