Man van dreams

Well if you are a man you'll understand the dream of owning a van that you can sleep in, haul bikes around etc. It must be a genetic 'pull', linked to man's desire for a shed, reverting back to the cave days long gone!

I've had the dream for years but its hard to justify if you have a full time job that involves 20k miles a year commuting. Plus how often do you need to sleep in a van?

Well after spending a few weeks in the Alps this summer where 'everyone' has a van it was time to look to the dream........

After lots of looking and trying to get the 'one vehicle does all' I bought a skoda roomster!

Technically not quite a van, but hopefully something that suits my life of work, with occasional siesta's.

note: basically I loved the pointless glass roof, quirky asymmetric styling and number plate!!
