You will need a lot of rope I think.

I have plenty and can tie a hangmans knot.

Still haven't tried one hot - to me a perfect Pork Pie is cold and served with Branston or half a pot of English Mustard and a second Pork Pie.

I'm hungry now.

Hot only with mushy peas. Best fresh just out of the oven at the butchers, temerature aired when the jelly is just setting, no Branston or any other arty farty condiments Now I am hungry.

 

[Pudsey Bear]

Either hot with mushy peas, and mint sauce, or cold with brown sauce.

Never liked pork pies. All that jelly n bits. Much prefer a proper greasy scotch pie. When you bite into it the grease runs down your chin. A squirt of brown sauce on it to take away the taste of the so called meat

If anyone ever gets to the Scraptoft meet, @rugbyken can get the best Pork Pies ever from the Butchers at Queniborough, I order the plain and the Pork and Stilton when I go.

I quite like this, a bit quirky inside but very low miles, (Not for us as I want a PVC) garage very handy for the scooter, not sure about the price.

Avoid like the plague, unless that is you only need 1oz of payload.

 

[Pudsey Bear]

IT's supposed to have 415 to 500 kilos of payload.

Does seem a bit steep for an 8 year old van from a private seller.

I bet it goes like sh*t off a shovel though. 3.5t and 170bhp.

The reality is it's a model unfit for purpose.
Post #46 is typical of what people have found, I did message MMM about the inadequate payload which barely got a mention in their review.

I do wonder if its why sub 3500kg vans are still demanding higher prices since a lot of newbies got into it who are possibly younger than most of us without the C1 licence. However the forums and FB groups are full of posts asking about upgrading weights.

It would be far better if they increased the maximum licence weight to 4250kg which seems to be possibly going through in Europe. Could be years away here, if ever.
