Default The best Van

Hi Guys and Girls,

What in your opinion is the best van for an angler?

I want something the tackle goes in easy and isnt very slow (I would like a nice quick van) ... any ideas which vans I should be looking at?

The best vehicle I had was a 2ltr Transit diesel, it had extra seats fitted in the back and still left plenty of room for the tackle with four or five up, economy wise it was 40 miles/gallon.

The Berlingos are a bit slow though arent they or do they do a fast version?

A low roof one so you can get into fishery car parks with gypo bars on the gate. Go for a pick up with a removeable body and have the best of both worlds or register with the CV show at NEC next month and get a free ticket and then blag food / drink all day off the manufacturers and see them all in one place

Never used a van, always used estates, at present i've got a Mondeo 2.0L Ghia, and it gobbles up 3 sets of match gear, no probs.
