RE: Idea
Mind you, there are a lot of people in Glasgow who don't have a car, play it by ear and adapt if necessary

RE: Idea
I drive a Transit as my EDC vehicle of choice, to damn useful not to have a van in the family, taking crap to the tip, camping in, collecting logs for firewood, as a BOV, collecting stuff from shops, moving stuff for relatives etc

RE: Idea
If you're sure you can turn a profit.....GO FOR IT!!!
Owning your own business can have huge benefits! If you are certain you can make it work, and you have a successful business owner happy to coach you through it, then you should definitely go for it!
Who cares about having a 4x4 BOV in the fleet? If you're successful enough, you can rent a vehicle yourself, from yourself, call it a company car, claim the tax back into the company, pay yourself minimum wage, have a wedge of a company dividend to the owner (yourself), and have full time use of a 4x4!!!
Rock on!!!
