| I have a Citreon Dispatch Hdi that I bought a couple of years ago for work and general carting of all types of junk about. Its a great thing and very useful indeed and I dont think I could be without it now. It drives like a car does loads of miles to the gallon and will cruise at 90mph all day. I used to do the trailer thing but got sick of it especially when the weather was bad. Its not the biggest of vans but I used to easily get my 996 in and can now get the Multistrada in without too much trouble.
More often than not if I have to nip out I jump in the van and not my lovely Jaguar XJR (Supercharged 390 bhp!) I have found myself wondering whether to get rid of the jag and buy a nicer van and another Ducati to go with the Multistrada!
As for insurance I was quite shocked at the time as I could not add the van to my existing policy and had to start afresh with Zero no claims bonus. I tried a load of insurers who all wanted an arm and a leg until a friend of a friend told me to go to NFU (National Farmers Union) who were by far the cheapest. I think they give you 1 years NCB to start with.  |
