This is getting to be a real headache for me because I'm in ^ THAT^ scenario. I'll try to explain. I did a thread similar a while back but it didn't quite get to the bottom of the matter, although peeps were helpful.
Important: As my life is now, I do not need any private transport. I get to work easily on Public Transport and at a reasonable price. The only problem is, I am itching like a man with Fleas to get back Gigging again.
The last time I gigged was 1994 with a Band of mates where everything just worked out right. ie, the Drummer had a Van, I did all the Gig finding, the other Guitarist/Vocalist wrote the Original material and the Bass player.......well.....played Bass(he was cool MF though).
From the old thread I did, it was the general consensus that I should buy a vehicle.
Slight problems, please read all to take it all into consideration.
1. Finding a Band that actually does the type of Gig I am after in Sheffield is proving near impossible, it seems no one in Sheffield or near surrounding areas wants to do Soul, Funk, Funk/Rock or Retro Covers or Similar.
BUT, if one comes along out of the blue that requires me to have transport, well you get the picture, it's all down to the Odds and even then I might not pass the audition.
2. Forming my own Band, very ambitious but not impossible, but then it's buying a vehicle(If everyone else has their own) with the "Faith" that it'll work.
3. Everyone's Fave scenario. Guitarist Required: No Transport Necessary.
Finances
I could buy a vehicle, not new I might add, but the amount one lays out is all based on their expectations. Buying a Rust Bucket piece of Shit might be cheap, but could feck you up big time at an inopportune moment.
Do I need to continue, you get the picture, my head hurts, I have more procrastinating issues eating away at me that I'll no doubt foist upon you all soon.
I've just got to get out there again.
Thanks for reading and I appreciate any help.

* also includes "won't". I saw a BMW estate, and its lip was only small, about 1.5", but it was covered with a plastic bit, which would be cracked into shards by the time I'd loaded/unloaded a flightcased AC30 a couple of times.

yep, that's what we do. Surprised if you are leaving a van loaded up over night though. I think everyone I know who has a van has had it broken into over night at some point.
