Could make a nice camper van. :D

Only if you want to spend all your time horizontal, though.. or you're Warwick Davis  ;D
Pop up roof on the back. The weight would be no problem. I want one, to live in.
Big enough?

Inevitably had a rummage for...

I had a boss who had a Citroen and that was the loaner the garage gave me when I dropped it off for a service.. you can wind them up surprisingly fast on the motorway autobahn  :-X ;D

I could easily be tempted by this as a bit of a project if I didn't have so many other things on my plate at the moment.

Exactly. No electronic witchcraft to be seen. A proper car.

All that talk of camper vans out of Citroens, have a bit of national pride and pick this up: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BMC-WORKS-SUPPORT-BUS-TRANSPORTER-PRODUCT-TRAINING-WORKSHOP-HISTORIC-RACING/223841069250

Should just need a quick wash and back on the road with you.

other rides

  Sterling elite trekker pikey wagon

The ultimate would be one of these, of course (plus cars to go on it):


But that BMC bus is lovely - if I had the space, time, money etc.

Always fancied doing my HGV test, just to fill up the categories on my licence.. the CPC requirements put me off as I'd never keep those up without a 'use' for the licence.

Having one of those parked in the back garden would make for a convenient excuse.. ;D

Don't need CPC for private use  ;)

Although, it forms part of the initial test. If you ever need to drive commercially, then simply do a five day course and call it done ;)

My CPC lapsed in September. I shall renew it should the need arise, probably with a dangerous good/tanks combo, but current main job is hopefully longterm (Cabin Tech) and the secondary one doesn't require a CPC unless the airport becomes a public highway (runway snow plows)...

Ah I thought the whole licence category 'lapsed' if you failed to keep up the CPCs.. good to know  :y Plus, should I ever get tired of telling people how to fix their computermabobs, I could always sit behind a wheel and shout into a CB radio. 10-4 rubber ducky!

... lorryists still do that, right? :D
