Tomorrow I'm picking up a long wheel base Ford Transit (in white!) for the weekend to help my brother in law move. Any tips & tricks I should know?! Unfortunately, I don't think it'll come with spinners  Jee |

Cut people up
Don't use the indicators
Use the vehicles size to intimidate the elderly
Park on double yellow lines
Drive 10 mph below the speed limit on single lane roads then some how manage to hit 90 on the motorways
Lean out of the window and shout "alwite darlin'" at any nice looking ladies.
Leave a copy of nuts on the dashboard
Buy a fry-up for breakfast
Agree with Richard Littlejohn and the Daily Mail on pretty much anything

Well, she's helping us move, and when we get to the destination (her mothers) will negotiate that tricky territory called the kitchen  |

I remember using my dads old Transit, it was RWD and was great for sliding around corners.  but not with full loads as they'd slide around on the inside causing the van to nearly tip and leave massive dents on the inside of the van that made it look like there was a wild animal trying to escape. Dad wasnt too pleased, either. |

Sure - PM me your address
Just picked it up. People give you loads of room, and generally stay out of your way! I could get used to this!

I need to rent a van this week but at 22 they either don't allow it or stick a surcharge on top. |
