little toyota hilux workmate ute with alloy tray under 25k

I had a VW short wheel base van that could slide an 11 footer in . Had that for 18 years and now have a Hi Lux turbo diesel 4x4. The van is really handy because if its raining you can get changed under the tail gate as well as lock boards inside. Handy

Great for the drive in as well.

Go a van Mac.
Reverse into the spot and open the back door/s and sit and watch the surf.
Stick the LB in the back no probs (up the centre or front passenger seat down. Beats the roof racks.

Mac you said…….,not keen on having to climb to get boards off and on so nothing too high.

think a van wouldn't tick that box mate.


but a van is a great car…nice van smh

Champion .... you gotta go the Vaaaaaallllbury

I'd love one of them Pup but I'm not cool enough to carry it.

we bought this for our son...he only has his auto licence so I'm using it until he gets his manual licence...VW caddy life.....sensational little car....that's a 9'4" under my knife and all my kite gear sitting on top of the rear seat folded up...this is the short wheelbase...for 35K you might go close to the new long wheelbase foremotion there 4 wheel drive ...notice above the front seats there is a parcel rack thingy.... you would get a longboard nose in there and could build a rack across the back and have em stored above....there are bolt holes already there...I'm into one as soon as I have to give this to my boy...1.9 diesel 6.2 litres too 100 ks the new six speed auto is meant to be better...check em out...great surfers wagon

get Lacey to knock up a false floor

This is the perfect solution. Probably write it a bit of it off each year with the tax man then as it is a work type vehicle. Go the VW transporter.

van mate, if you want to belt one out while peeving on a surf check hottie
plus the ice heads won't steel your stuff

hey mac forgot to tell you...they are dual sliding doors in back so a set of roof racks and you don't have to climb, you can just open the doors and stand on the sills...even a short arse like me can tie them on

Thanks for your serious input arkee,unlike that Lacey dude

I think thats a little short in length I'd perfer to open the rear door and boards fit in without the hassle of dropping the front seat,hell where would Lacey sit,hmmm could be the car.

Ror that sort of money you could get a VW multi van with not too many K's
Very comfortable, very versatile and can fit long boards in-between the seats if you take rear bench seat out. Best vehicle I have ever owned(and I've owned a few)

This

Give us half a hint Mac!...
Are you thinking new, near new, or full retro resto!
