I'll come around with mine & make it three.
I'll make it 4 and make use of those baths 
I did think of that but assumed 'doblo' meant that you would see 4 extra Doblo's outside
How's things going with yours?

The dobbins doing fine.... up to 21,000 in 20 months (still an after noise on gear changing , when warm, but i'ver got used to it... maybe its just me , the wifes not noticed it really)
Found it stuggles a bit fully loaded when going away (bikes and surf boards etc) but don't do much over 60-70, just stick in behind a lorry on the m6 , it runs very smooth and holds the road very well ( the new marshall tyres are far superior to the original linglong ones supplied ) but keep thinking , that I should have gone for a 1.9 , but at £8300 NEW for a family 7 seater version it was a bargain... I am considering to change it for a BONGO , we will wait and see...
Still not got the sunstrip + viper stripes fitted as he's very busy ??? heck I'm paying cash....

There is one thing in your favour, you didn't go for the 1.2 petrol or the 1.9 non turbo diesel.ashy_2002 said:The dobbins doing fine.... up to 21,000 in 20 months (still an after noise on gear changing , when warm, but i'ver got used to it... maybe its just me , the wifes not noticed it really)

Doblo has a point... Still at least everything else is going ok with it, plus it'll stop you speeding too much on the motorway... Let's not go there again or I'll get picked on
Glad things are going well and by Bongo I'm assuming you mean Berlingo? I hope not cause well... that would be like cheating on your Wife
