The van’s not for scrapping

I’m feeling a bit miffed today!

When I finished work yesterday I went out to my van and some joker had stuck a card on the windscreen which read – Vans scrapped for cash.  All makes and models considered. Any condition taken.

Now, it may not be the cleanest business van around at the moment, but it’s got a long MoT, it’s got full UK van insurance and it’s in pretty good nick really.

My mate’s Citroen Berlingo is two years younger than my van but he’s let it get into a terrible state – dents, scratches, rust patches and even a cracked rear window, but yesterday it didn’t have a flier under the windscreen wiper.

Vanessa reckons the people with the cards recognised a quality van when they saw it and were chancing their arm at trying to get a bargain, but I’m not falling for it.

Just like me, it may not be the youngest workhorse on the lot, but my van has a strong engine and there’s plenty more miles left in its chassis.

Vanessa says she’s not so sure about my chassis and she reckons I’d fail an MoT, but she reckons the van’s a good’un.  Thanks for that, love!

So, I think I’m going to give my van a bit of TLC – it may even get a coat of polish – and maybe next time the scrap van chancers will leave it alone.
