Hey
I've been trying to find a thread on these lines and I can't find one, so sorry if it exists already!
I'm curious to know what Fiat van drivers use their vans for? Any plumbers or electricians? Or campers, surfers, climbers? Florists or thatchers?? Business or pleasure? What do you do in your van?!

not alot mines broke at the moment

if i had a work van i'd use it at the weekends as a camper van with camp beds and stuff in the back

got a sprinter van at work
carrying a lot of metal

to the maximum limits and a bit more

I have a scudo - it was given to me as a payment for some work I did for a friend of the family. I used it as a daily driver for 6 months, now in the middle of a camper conversion, it's tatty and battered on the outside, and inside it's getting there slowly!

I've used it to move furniture whilst volunteering for Accomodate Wales charity, friends have borrowed it to move house, I've used it to take mates on hiking trips to north wales and scotland! Me and my misses spent a week in it between xmas and new year in the lake district and we're off to scotland next week!

I love my scudo! :slayer:

think niall_g uses his van to drive round the world and back

dont have a fiat van, have a escort van 1.8 diesel 55,

it gets washed, mot'd, taxed and serviced once a year. well it gets washed more if my little girl takes a green sponge to it!

i have moved house with it 4 or 5 times, moved my brother inlaw's stuff twice also. taken to tip, takes dog out, been to france in it

also used for taking my tools and me onto plastering jobs

i love my van it has seen ALL my fiats/other cars come and go!! it has been used to 'jump start' just about every car i have owned at some point!!

I deal with a chap who has a (current) Ducato with the 2.3 engine. He carries repatriated deceased people from airports to undertakers. His vehicle is lined with some form of plastic, perhaps like might be used for meat, so it can be easily cleaned. It also has a hydraulic platform inside so he can "stack them two high", so to speak. If this is for the magazine, next time I speak to him I will ask him if he minds being featured. He covers about 130,000 mile per
year.

well if i had a van i would bully smaller cars out the way, as that's all they seem to do..

ask him if its chilled... wouldnt want a body stinking it out on a hot day

My 'van' is a multi purpose vehicle. I use it to tow caravans about as part of my job, I use it to carry tools and materials about to work on caravans, or other people's cars, I use it to manouvre large holiday homes on site.

Its not a Fiat, its a Defender.

Cheers

No worries on that score. No matter how they've died the poor buggers are dealt with by morticians in the country where they died and are embalmed there. The caskets are also zinc lined and sealed down.
