    Exactly

    Those that do lease, any recommended companies at all or do you just use the dealers?

    I bought a second hand van - 4 years old and had only done 40,000 miles - nothing for a diesel. Bought on finance - £150 a month for 3 years. I like that I should then get a year or 2 out of it without any making any payments on it before wanting another van - and I can sell it on for some money at that stage to finance the deposit for the next van.

    Whereas with a lease, you don't end up with anything at the end - and the initially deposits can be quite high for a lease.

    Also, if I ding the van, it's just myself I have to kick - with a lease company, I have a strong feeling you have to pay to get it fixed before you hand it back?

    Estate cars are always a good bet for that. Keeps them happy and should fit most DJ's gear, even if its the basics.
    I saw a Photo Booth guy loading into a Sabb convertible this weekend as his van had broken down. Looked stupid.

    That makes it sound dodgy. He's not dodgy. He just knows what he's doing.
    Sounds an awful lot like Jimmy Carr to me

    OK then. How often in 2016 have wives gone wrong?

    Mine never does, so she tells me.

    Just like mine, then. That's why I don't have a backup.
