    why do we sell our old vans? then buy more

    why is it that we've all had sandmans in our day and sell them the ten years later we think why the hell did i sell it, then go out and buy another 1 or 2 or 3, i wish i had of kept all of mine and just put one in the shed after another. they are so hard to get hold of now without being chopped and changed, swapped engines, gutted interiors etc. it drives me mad i wish i could turn back the clock

    When i was 8, i wanted a Black HQ 350 windowless manual van, 30 years later i got a Carribean Turquiose HZ 308 auto with windows.
    SO this is my first van.

    because peoples situations change and they need either money or more seats or both.....:angry:

    as for buying them later its because we dont need money and we need less seats...:lol:

    once a vanner always a vanner...:knockout:

    Not a Van..But a Ute.

    I agree also, except with me, it's ute's. I sold mine because I was getting married and my ute just wasn't practical. Now 29 year's later my family have grown, and are all independent, and I have my ute back again. It's definitely no Sandman.....an 07 vz to be precise.....but I love it just as much as if it were. It does feel good not to have to drive a wagon anymore.

    Cheer's.
