George says: “I love commercial vehicles and the industry, and if that sounds odd it probably is, but you'd be amazed at how often people want to talk to me about vans. Ok, it's not how I want to spend my Saturday night but I've lost track of how many times someone has stopped me in a supermarket car park, at a builders merchants or just wound down their window in traffic to talk to me about the brand new van I'm driving. Without fail I'll tell them everything I can about it, until they drive off wishing they'd never asked in the first place.

“Hopefully you'll find my insight a bit more interesting, and with some luck it will help you with your next van buying decision. I want you to take something valuable away from what you read here, and would love to know if what you're reading has been of help.”
