stuartmaxwell Posted August 16, 2006 Report Share Posted August 16, 2006 im having to sell my recently converted transit as my insurance company are not letting me use my no claims on two vehicles, and therefore are raping me for insuranceim guttedany bands needing a transit for carting them and their gear about. its motd till june next year and recently had a full service, this van starts every time and has been great in the time i own it. I just completed a full uk tour with take a worm in it and it ran like a dream. 137,000 on clock, and should you look after it, you will find it will run until at least 200k. fuel economy is pretty good if you stick to 60 and underany serious interest drop me a line and ill give you some pictures etcroughly looking for about 650 (200 cheaper than advertised elsewhere as it would be good to see it go to use locally!)drop me a line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frosty Jack Posted August 16, 2006 Report Share Posted August 16, 2006 Buying a transit is the single best move any band worth their salt could make. It's like a coming of age. Get mobile, get gigs whenever and wherever you can in the wide world playing to strangers and in 6 months you'll be twice the band you were. And it's absolutely the best fun you'll ever have. Any band who's played more than ten times in Aberdeen and doesn't take this chance doesn't deserve to be a band. Do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

black_matter Posted August 24, 2006 Report Share Posted August 24, 2006 It's a small dream but I hope our band gets a van someday. It's definintly a coming of age, and is the next step for a band. Can't wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
