I'm feeling like buying a decommissioned ambulance would be about the same as getting a used transit, with all the electrics installed already, including batteries, and only need to do the inverter and panels. Almost no faffing about with installing storage, maybe just a flam vault and a lockbox for the really expensive stuff. Almost all of them have 1-3 seats already in the back, so seating for the crew is sorted. Most good condition ones I've seen are £5k at 110k-170k miles.

I know right? There's no where near enough Doritos dust on those fingers!

Sure, that's what drugs are for. Why stop existing forever when you can stop existing for short periods of time from the comfort of your couch?

Is there an eject button on this hell ride?

Yep. Don't do it though. No way to make things better if you check out early.

Nah, you're alright. Ignore them, keep posting. I enjoyed the read. Cheers, bud.

Yeah, too many people look at a truck and say to themselves: I think that'd do to take the kid to football practice and myself to the office!

They're just not making trucks for working anymore, and I personally am pissed!
I suppose I really should think about getting a small/medium sized van.... just irks me a bit. I guess growing up the only tradies using a van were painters, plasterers and glaziers. And folk with real jobs had trucks....🤣

I had a Mazda Pricidia (MX-3) for a few years before I bought the Ranger. Thing was great. I had the rear seat pulled out and got a joiner pal build a custom wooden bed to put in. Did double duty, was enough to hold a week's worth of veneer stone and thinset plus my tools. Built-in storage boxes under the top. And with the front seats folded all the way forward there was an extra piece I could drop in, and all of a sudden you've got enough space for a double size inflatable camping mattress. I miss that thing.

Yeah, easy access to parts is pretty important.

....I had to look it up, it looks like one of the guys who worked on the design of the El Camino smooth talked someone in C-Suite that it was their own idea that releasing one that was modernised would sell super well. That might sound like I'm taking potshots, but I love the El Camino and I would buy a Jumbuck in a heartbeat.

that would need enough people to collude to break it.

And with the way things are going right now....shrugs
