Same here. Love my Partner Escapade, but it's now coming up for 18 years old and is probably considered to be a dirty diesel. Won't change it until forced to, and will probably buy a Dacia when the Pug breathes its last. After all, Dacias are no more than old-fashioned Renaults and I have had so many of those it will be like welcoming home an old friend!

My Y reg Escort white Van from 2001 I bought for £500 5 years ago and is peanuts to run.
Cheap insurance, and the mechanics all say, with being so basic there isnt that many things that can go wrong.

Caddy Maxi is the one, big enough everything you will have to take.
I take a 8ft rigid boat in mine plus tackle etc.

I have a 2019 connect LWB it's the perfect size for me I just wheel my power Porter straight in, it's very comfortable with heated seats air conditioning and cruise control, it's supposed to be 120bhp but it seems to go like it's only 80 that's it's only fault I'd definitely have another
i've put these pics on before and expect I'll put em on again......
My Renault Kangoo bought it in 2003, fantastic vehicle used for work everyday, at least two trips a week fishing, one or two trips to France per year. The only major job I had to have done was when the turbo went, it never really felt the same after that but had it for for about 11 - 12 years.

I hope people are aware that comparing Vans from 2003 to Vans from 2018/19 is apples and oranges? Your experiences will bare no resembelance at all.

I'm not sure why people bother. You might as well have a blacked out sharan, touran or galaxy for the extra power and comfort.
Vans should be transit size and up. Anything else is a rickety car with no seats. Also 130bhp and up

If it was just for fishing yes but there's many reasons a family car isn't the same or as good as a van... Plus if you're taking seats out then that gets into the realm of modifications etc. I'd love to be able to have an audi s4 avant if it was solely for fishing 😁
