    You've already described the distinctive and colourful signage on the van which I would have thought would be far more revealing than mentioning the model and marque!

    As I plan to keep this van forever I thought it would be a good investment as the pads would need replacing one day. Being in London there is a lot of breaking.

    I'd avoid breaking it if you can.

    Braking will be far more effective at stopping the car and avoid it getting broken.
    Remember the saying: if it looks too good to be true it almost certainly is.

    People are caught up in an egotistic artificial rat race to display a false image to society. We want the biggest house, fanciest car, and we don't mind paying the sky high mortgage to put up that show. We sacrifice our biggest assets our health and time, We feel happy when we see people look up to us and see how successful we are”
