... or expect them to post it on internet forums for their own perverse amusement?

I wont pass comment due to a commercial interest (quite a close one actually)  Not for me, the novelty of driving a pick up soon wears off.  Especially on LONG drives.  Still at least there is no need for a roof rack ;-)

actually there is... no chance of getting the boards in the back

for those interested, the reason is very simple... why pay money to the revenue when you don't need to?

fully expensed light commercial vehicle with private use- no brainer on BIK rate compared to a equivalent powered estate car from a german marque.

That's how you handle boards, get one of those lifty up lid things that lock out..

I'm waiting for the final advice on the P11D value and VAT re-claim, but AIUI there's sizeable company tax savings too... every little helps!

I'm trying to remember the name, it's an aftermarket top, they fit most pick ups, handy if you have to take oversize stuff anywhere, has an element of weatherproof as well, regret not getting it with my current truck which just has a flap type lid that lifts up at the back only.

I shall do a bit of googlery and edit back if i find it.
