Cheap personal swipes at Nidge do your argument no favours. I do not think you need to own a WAV, or even a Taxi to have useful opinion on this issue...end of the day we are governed by twits that haven't a clue one end of a taxi from t'other!

Your mate's hypocrisy does his argument no favours. I drive a rear loading WAV and have done so for many years. It's a VW Sharan and they don't have a track record of spontanious self combustion like some side loaders I could mention.

This trade is full of guys like nidge who think they should decide whats good for everyone else when it's not good for them.


ambulance services use 1000's of rear loader berlingo's are they all wrong?

Pots and Black Kettles come to mind here :D

I think not Gobby, I don't profess about what is safe and what is not. Both have their drawbacks. I should know, having driven both kinds.

I take it you're another know all saloon jockey like nidge who really just wants the competition shelling out more than him to do the same job?

No, I drive a Scudo 6 seater side access WAV. But I do not cry from the rooftops about it and try to rubbish all else as unproffesional

No nidge I drive a motor which was designed and built as a passenger vehicle from the start. It can accomodate a variety of wheelchair types and sizes without altering the seating arrangement or a reduction in capacity. Thats more than can be said for the TX4 which struggles to take the most basic wheelchairs.
MPG is far better as well. More reliable than that Vectra you had too. Build quality is as good as any saloon and better than most.
Gobby's Scudo, now thats a converted bread van.
What about your saloon? £5k after the doubleglazing salesman was done with it?
Real quality :lol:

Neither am I, I suggest you check again.
The only one doing that is your mate nidge, scourge of all rear loaders

(It's unprofessional BTW )

Cost more than your salesman's cast off. Mind you, we still have an economy here, unlike that depressed [edited by admin] you work.

I do like the E7, with the under floor ramp, so so easy to use no hassle of getting the seats out no hassle of trying to attach big ramps.
