My bairn would love me to have that. She's Scooby Doo mad. It's crying out for some psychedelic flowers and it's 'The Mystery Machine!'. . You could make a fortune on kids parties, give em a spin in it, lol! x

Fair enough,each to his own.
BUT if you were trying to market yourself as a premier wedding DJ looking for the high end market wouldnt that van let you down.Surely the image you portray to your client and venue is important too.

Absolutely Trev, no arguments at all. However:
In this case, performance is more important than appearance. Like many of us, my disco transport has another purpose in the daytime. The first criteria is that it is a 3,5Tonne vehicle. The second is that it cost as little as possible for as much van as possible. A gleaming paint job won't make it bigger, faster, or carry a gramme more.
In an ideal world, I'd have a sprinter for the Disco, with smart livery, high travelling speed, and a big loadspace, while The Hulk performed the day job. Sadly, it's not an ideal world.

I'm sorry Peter,I thought you were one of the full timers on here.
I should have sussed it out with the builders crap in the back but I assumed that it was like that in its former life.
My apologies.

When I seen it, I laughed. Not in a ridiculing way, but because it pleases me that not everyone takes life sooo seriously! When I first started out I had an absolute battered ford courier van in white. I'd scratched and scraped it that much as a young kid novice driver, my dad called it 'The Beirut Banger!'. I did 8 karaoke/discos a week with it, 3 afternoons and 5 nights, excluding Saturdays which I kept free for weddings, private functions etc. Dud the clients ever see or even care about my van? I doubt it. They were the greatest, happiest times for me as a D.J . At the moment I drive a brand new Qashqai + 2, top spec and pull a brand new box trailer, private registration plates. I've had 5 gigs this year. Maybe it's high time I didn't take myself so seriously again! Best wishes Peter. May you have many miles and lots of work with her. . . Sarah x

And you actually think that van with sand,cement,plaster and assorted building equipment is fit for the purpose of transporting DJ equipment never mind my opinion that it is a bit tatty and doesnt do his image any favours.
