That is a very nice looking truck, but, I hesitate to even say this , but you got screwed. The steering wheel is on the wrong side!
LOL,
Cheers, JimDon
PS. Nice looking layout on the cargo area!

Those Brits and Aussies always fall for that right hand drive trick. They went for the Metric System too. Don't take it too hard fellows my Mother-in-law was a citizen of the Empire. It is a cool little truck though.

I am a roadside technician, I carry batteries, ignition coils, sensors and stuff for temporary repairs like split coolant hoses/wiring repairs/clutch and throttle cable repairs
I have diagnostic kit/battery test kit/coolant and fuel pressure test kit and a fairly comprehensive hand tool kit (if you want more pics, I can go open some drawers)

This is the rapid deployment trailer we carry in the back of the van (which is a four wheel drive in this case).

Man-O-Man....do you even (or should I say "ever"), work out of that thing??? LOOK HOW CLEAN IT IS!

You should see my work truck....dang its a ****** keeping that thing clean! Inherited it from the last guy that retired, and boy, how he got anything done is amazing to me...no tools, no nuthin'.....its slowly getting stocked up now, but boy can they be bad for buying tools....sheesh!
My Union Agreement is that "we" don't have to provide any tools....sure makes it hell getting anything specific though.

That's pretty snazzy.

Just imagine the insurance you would pay if that kind of business existed in the USA.

What do you do with the vehicle occupants when you tow? Looks like you've only got seating for 1 passenger in the van.

I can carry 2 passengers with me in the van, and we can get an assist from another patrol or a taxi for any extra passengers. Mostly though we just take the car into one of our workshops or a local dealership if its under warranty.
We have some large contracts with the VAG group/Motability (a British scheme for disabled drivers)/Volvo and a plethora of banks/supermarkets and insurance companies. It was announced yesterday that we are now owned by the Carlyle group (American I think) which is great news as far as Im concerned, as I really enjoyed my time in the USA recently.
