Take no truck of the cheap van insurer today

I don't know if us cheap van insurers are alone in this, but the back of this particular cheap van insurers school text books used to be laden with the names DAF, Foden, Peterbuilt and Kenworth. Alas, this cheap van insurer were neither popular, or, good looking enough for these to be the surnames of girls the cheap van insurer 'had on the go' at the time either, in case you're wondering. They were in fact the names of truck manufacturers. Now, before you think this cheap van insurer had slipped on the herringbone slacks and sports casual mack, championed by the locomotive 'pointing out' brigade, think again. As yes, this cheap van insurer maybe refering to rigs. Cabs? You know, the bit that steers a truck; but ones with a difference. Largely, and in some cases, gruesomely, cosmetically dabbled with. Whereas this cheap van insurers friends (with girls names in the back of their Home Economics book ironically) would scribble quite ridiculous body-kit attachments to the graphic whereabouts of something that rersembled a Mark 3 Ford Escort 1.1L; this cheap as you like van insurer would do the exact same random 4HB strokes. To the surface area of a Mack truck.

And, years on, it appears that this cheap van insurers madness was indeed not unique to their fragile mindset, as Fiat's designers must also have been enjoying the very same, dangerously blue Smarties when of school. That's if their Fiat Truckster is anything to go by. Based, albeit rather sketchily, on the firms Ducato van, those whose job it is to talk about these things are readily gabbing about it 'accentuating a modern, exuberant of sporting performance'. Which is all very well if your prime trucking concern is that it looks like a Formula 1 car. The Ducato, which is the inspiration for the Truckster, is a mid-sized bland-mobile that carts your scaffolding poles around. And that's about your lot. The Truckster, on the other 6-fingered hand, is what you get to tow your race cars/bikes around with. Providing you own, and compete, in a small race set-up when youre not erecting/dis-assembling scaffolding outside unstable buildings. Or, if, like many tradesmen, you like to put on a fashion show once in a while, then likewise, you're in luck. As the Truckster is hailed as being a superb mobile catwalk platform for fashion shows. If you put an equally as spaced-out tractor unit on the back of it that is.

Seeing as we're still missing images, even after all my lobbying of the Paymaster General, we'll have to do our level best to describe the rig for you. So here goes; imagine for a moment if you will/can, a Predator's head, minus the suckers and assorted flappy bits and nasal bobs. Well that's the cab exterior-ish. What Fiat are calling their Road Racer cabin. Lots of dark, carbon grey running amok, tinted glazing, LED lights and all that malarkey. Developed by the Fiat Style Centre, with Bosche lending a helping hand, (full of blue Smarties) the Truckster is topped off by an aerodynamic spoiler, (that sits menacingly over the back wheels, looking like something that Airbus have donated to the cause) hydraulically-controlled gull-wing doors, and, massive 28" alloy wheels. Measuring 6.48 metres in length, 2.55 metres in height and 2.49 metres in width, the concept was unveiled to as many gasps as sighs, at the Madrid International Motor Show, that opened yesterday. In Madrid. Come a little closer to home, and vancover.co.uk will fit you up with some cheap van insurance right about now. Lovely jubbly eh?
