+1 for the van dude, buuuuut, if you need the 4 seats and or the tray for other stuff (like me) then I love my Mitsubishi Triton, why you ask? Well the middle back window slides down, so you slide the boards across the top of the tarp and into the cab through the back window, can seat 4 with 2 x 10'ers and a cpl midlength. Used to drive Toyota Hilux but would never go back, the Triton is way more comfy and the Hilux is so overpriced...

MMM888888!!! Go a van.

Like you, I have a twenty minute drive to work. So the car is just for fun!!

My 9'6" fits under the bed platform I put in the Hyundai Iload diesel. Nose fits under the passenger seat. I can put 2 mals in and decide what to use, when I get there. My son's work vehicle is a new diesel Transit. Very impressive as well.

Oh, and fuel consumption is excellent.

Ute with a fibreglass canopy for mine. Not very stylish but very very practical. Nothing does storage like a ute. Plus you can get canopies for tray backs and well bodies.

Buy a decent sized van.
This one's a 5 seater and I have an aluminium double bed base in the back so boards go under that away from prying eyes.
Great on fuel and with a deep cycle battery/inverter set up I have 240V power.
When its raining or cold its great being able to get changed out of the elements.

I'd go a VW van Mac...

Room for boards, a shoe rack and ....



Perfect SP,I can sell coffee on the side

I was looking at a transporter a while back,people who own them love them but most have said buy anything other than white because there are so many forsake and its hard to sell a white one unless you give it away.


If it was white you'd have to put some black and red stripes on it...

No one suggesting a Toyota van?

You would be in heaven with a 57





Or have plenty of room for your friends and boards in a falcon




You could even be in the Vanguard of a new tend




perhaps a sporty convertible would be more your style





Or reminisce about those fun filled carefree days in the Hitler Youth movement


But then, just a teardrop may do the trick





The options are limitless.

It's fortunate that it's a rat pup, otherwise that duco would be ruined if anything acidic dripped on it

I saw a really nice split screen Kombi driving up in Sydney a few months back . It looked unreal. They sell for heaps these days. I've heard of figures up to 100k for really good ones.
