Worked the van hard helping a friend move house

Had a friend moving house this weekend, he had a lot of stuff to move and we were pondering renting a full size cargo van for the move

I got twitchy about damage waivers and liability, so we decided to give the ol' Dispatch a whirl and take a few trips

At first when we saw the amount of stuff that needed moving, we thought it was gonna take way too many runs, but the van's roomier than we expected and we got it all moved in 4 runs

The suspension took the brunt of it:

Good job well done

You are in luck, if I'd move, old dispatch wouldn't scratch the surface in 10 goes... I know, I know...
HOARDERER...!!!

Re: Worked the van hard helping a friend move house

yeah i also have that much stuff its crazy. then again i do work in a scrap yard so every day is a day that you may be happy to have a van.
i have 3x 50cc and 125cc scooters around the side of the house that came in for scrap as non runners. half the time is just a blocked fuel injector as they dont run fuel filters!

If you ever find a Yamaha 50 Giggle, Vox, or whatever with decent front end plastics and ignition loom, please grab it.  A bit scarce though.
