Why on earth Royal Mail have bought a load of French crap for their vans I don't know. The Vauxhall Combo's are miles better.

The Peugoet Bippers are built in Bursa in North West Turkey by the Türk Otomobil Fabrikası Anonim Şirketi.
They share exactly the same kit as the Citroën Nemo and the Fiat Fiorino also built by Tofaş and are about as French as a Kebab.
good times, bad times you know I've had my share

We should all have Transit connects,brilliant vans more room than the combis and also you don't have to be a contortionist to get out the f=-king things when you are against a kerb.

I did a Google search and this is what it says :hmmmm Although prices can change and I'm sure RM would get a better deal (I know they're leased by RM but the prices remain the same).

And guess what happened today to one of the vans? yes you guessed it BROKE DOWN the driver phoned in the location so manager sends out another postie with a set of jump leads to jump the van. This is the way forward but they still allocate two decent vans to one walk and give crap vans out.
