just wondering if anyone here uses there vl to get to work and back, and avoids carting tools, im just worried when i start they will make me get a ute and ill have to sell my vl that i have spent alot of cash on :S cos a vl isnt exactly ur average work hack seen on site !

I use mine to do quotes some days.

what do u do for a job mate?

i use mine 2 get 2 uni every day seems 2 do the job. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

i used to use mine everyday to get to site and back carrying my tools in the boot. no worries at all. depending your tools fit in the boot lol.

i used to use mine to get to work, would rarely have to put tools init, just drums of cable which lowers the back heaps and ill start using it again soon Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

use 2 run my tiling business in a vl manual wagon on gas plenty of room 4 tile cutters and glues hahaha was a donut gas tank

towbar +box trailer decked out for a trade...

i use mine for quotes here an there but like every work car thay eventually end up damaged if there used for work all the time

brothers old calais turbo was his work car, hes a tiler, has to carry, big tile cutter, small tile cutter, glues, membrane, angle grinder, spacers, extensions all sorts of **** and never gave him trouble apart from being bogged on site once or twice

do what i did and buy a turbo diesel rodeo relible cheap to run and cheap to buy 4-7 grand should see a decent one i got to massive tool boxes on mine sags in the arse cause of the weight but still pulls hard and after 350 thousand did my first clutch and keep the VL for fun cause they get damaged using as a work car in no time

yea man first yea dont really have the cash to build my vl and buy a 7 grand rodeo lol

why would you have to sell your VL? I'm a tiler, I have my VL, and 2 years into my apprenticeship, I got a loan for a BA ute, which has served me well.

what do you do as a job?

my bf was taking my calais to work everyday, he's a painter. just put tools in the boot. and my dad had a vz maloo for a work ute, carried fridges, washing machines, etc in it, still kept it immaculate Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

sparky you should get away with it shouldn't you? just stop putting money into the vl apart from maintenence and start saving / loan for a work car if it bothers you gthat much. take the vl off of the road and avoid the rego / insurance. that or just sell it.

im a chippy and drove the vlt to work everyday for months.. nothing like a big screamer run down the highway at 5am to wake you up.

Im a sparky too, i work construction though not domestic. All my tools are left on site most of the time so all it needs to carry is me and my lunch. If your a domestic sparky who has to go job to job, get some roof racks, put the 6 footer on the roof, cable drums in the boot with the roller cases. tool bags in the back seat with drill and paperwork/folders on passenger seat
