New works van (worrying)

[davreeve]

I,ve had my works van (2000 transit 350)on and off since it was new ,it has covered 145000 miles and drives well .I like it for the fact that its a bit ropey with multiple dents and scrapes .It gets rallied across fields to get to broken farm machinery,when i hook up to trailers i back up until the hitch hits the bumper so i know i,m close enough.What i,m saying is that although i sort of look after it i,m not the most tidy or careful driver and no one notices another small dent in it.

The boss has now given me a brand spanky 2008 transit in all its shinyness and once i get it boarded and racked out it will be on the road/field.I,m sh*$ing myself as if i damage it in the first few weeks everyone will notice on a new van which is why i like my old one.Extra care neede me thinks.
