ya lucky begger. how much did that set you back if you don't mind me asking? I'm waiting to win the lotto, but a van would be much easier and faster than the trailer.

There's a van for sale on Whakatiki St, Upper Hutt. Been sitting there for a few days. I'll have a look on the way home today and report back Ola.

I set up my van to take my bike,but have gone back to the trailer again,it's easier and I don't have a smelly bike inside with me,the Pajero is comfy too,but having to travel at 80kph is a pain if there are cops about.My main reason is that the van gets stuck off road where I have to take it,it'll get stuck in dry grass in a flat paddock.I must get around to making a bike rack to put on the back of the Pajero,that'll be the best compromise.

Mate lets just say the price was right. Mind you keep in mind -no rego no wof etc etc--itll take a day to get it sorted.and its an lold dog--but being a toyota itll run forever

I know what you mean.....a van with car seats and a wall between seats/bikes perhaps? I've always done 100 with my trailer and never been stopped. I'm guessing you have? How many trucks doing 110 with trailers get stopped anyway......if you attract attention by doing 120 with a trailer they'd book you for 40kph over the limit though.

Well guys after a lot of thinking I decided to give the toyota a miss.
I figgured out it would be just too small for me.
Anyone wanting a cheap van for race transport itll bhe a real bargain.
$700 is all the guy wants for it--It seems to run well
I ended up buying a isuzu van -its bloody HUGE
