  1. Worryingly I can see Matt in the drivers seat.

    DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT let him have the keys EVER!!!!!

    I saw Nial after a trip in the Alfa and he looked very poorly!

    I hope you paid to use 2 parking spaces?

    Definately needs an A-Team stripe.{/i}

    Looks more like 4 spaces to me 😉

    My wife says the access ramp would be just fine for her wheelchair, thanks lads!

  3. Never mind the bikes, the ramp will be perfect for getting the dessert trolley down with all the post-ride cakes loaded on.

  4. WTF is it with the ramp? Are you boys going all roadie on us? It looks like the start ramp used in the TDF prologue time trial. Have you got Lance in the back of the wagon?

  5. Why the ramp..? can’t you bunnyhop the 26″ into the back of the van… or maybe even lift the bikes in? I see subscribers money being squandered on unnecessary luxuries. 🙂

  6. Needs some pimp wheels and were does the ramp go when not in use. It’s that big you won’t be able to fit anything in the back if that ramps in there. I know of a good decal company based in Chester called sonic signs but they may be a bit far away. There is a good company on the web called van wrap or something similar but they are well expensive.
    Mate had his old van done by them and it looked great but cost his company well over a grand.

  7. The ramp folds up flat against the back doors when they are shut and the ramp came with the van. It’s previous owners used it for transporting motorbikes. We’ve had it resprayed on the outside ready for our graphics. It was a proper white van before.. had a copy of the sun on the dash and some jelly babies in the side pockets 🙂

  8. 6 seats 6 bikes and camping gear in the back, very cool biking/event transport. Not so great for nipping down the shops tho I’ll bet 🙂

  9. “An advert for what?”
    Do you remember the pictures of Nige Pages Van that had 5 or 6 new bikes taken from it. I think it said something like INTENSE MOUNTAIN BIKES down the side of it.
    Its a bit like my local Snap-On man has got a NO TOOLS LEFT IN THIS VAN etc sticker on the back of his merc.
    But Hey oh, tax and all that

  10. [i]If you put your detail on it you will get it robbed thats for sure.[/i]

    Sadly true. However ‘Singltrackworld magazine’ doesnt mean anything to a Halifax scrote. Its the ‘mountain bike bit’ that does..

  11. My recommendation is to leave a clear view into the back of the van (possibly difficult is i understand that ramp arrangement) and don’t leave nuffing in there. 🙂
