What was your first love? The ultimate van blog asks the intimate question...

Right folks, its question time. Can you remember the first van you travelled in or went to work in? I can, and it's not pretty. Its goes by the name of a Toyota Hiace circa 1979, which was purchased from new in 'Migrane Yellow', by my dad.


He owned a supermarket in Merseyside at the time and many a school holiday we would drive back from the 'cash n carry', ahem, fully loaded, with the rear axle scraping the ground, hoping we wouldn't collapse the Mersey Tunnel as we veered through on the way to the shop in Birkenhead. Here's a picture that's as near as dammit to our trusty carrier. So which van made it's debut in your life?
