Van wash babes get into a lather at unique Van wash
August 2008Tradesmen were queuing up to get their vans rubbed down by Budget Van Insurance’s stunning models at a special one-off van wash earlier today.
The one-of-a-kind event attracted groups of gardeners, builders and plumbers who came to eagerly make the most of the five gorgeous girls who spent the morning spraying and buffing to give their vans a makeover. With buckets and sponges at the ready, the girls washed many vans during their four hour stint at Jewson in Basingstoke with a view to dispelling the myth that vans driven by tradespeople are dirty and grubby.
Mnveer Arkan, Budget Van Insurance, said: "It’s not everyday that a group of stunning girls offer to give your van a free wash – and judging by the queues today people were keen to make the most of this opportunity. Van drivers often get stick for having dirty vans, but the ones we have seen today are now not only sparkling clean, they are being driven by workmen with huge grins plastered on their faces!"
The event was free-of-charge although drivers were able to make a donation to the NSPCC.
