Buying a van

Mate of mine owns this place.

They have a 'no vat' section.

The £299 'care kit ' seems a bit iffy. I'd expect the things mentioned to be included for free as a minimum. And the 3 month warranty is a minimum anyway protected by law.

Like I said, I'd have a drive first, I just had a look at vans and none look nice, if you're used to the comfort of a decent car then a van will feel medieval.

Can't you stretch to a decent sized 4x4 with extra seats?
You've got the obvious Range Rover stuff and the Japanese make some nice seven-seater large 4x4s.

Mmmmm i'd rather drive/sit in the Transit for 10 hours than any other car i've been in. Admittedly i've not driven £100k cars... but it's not a £100k van either

Sure the car handles better, accellerates better... but comfort, i'll take the Transit.

On the driving side of things the space and height are my preferences over a car, however luxurious. I can't remember the last time I drove a car for longer than about 30 minutes, several years ago I would think.

I do fit the deaf and nerveless category though.

My Kombi has a 204hp motor and will do 0-60 in around 8 seconds, lowered with Bilsteins all round it handles OK'ish. It's the T32 variant so has brakes to match.

Yeah this ^. Well it was my phrasing to begin with

All I can say is try it Pony. Then do the right thing and buy that Supra.

We liked our Transit, but it doesn't compere to a luxury car, it's night and day. Our Puma Defender is basically a Transit van, it has Transit seats, Transit engine, etc, and it's perfectly comfortable for all day long driving, but then you get into the Range Rover and the difference is immediately massively noticeable.

It depends what the Pony is used to I suppose.

I found the opposite, I went from a top spec Transit to a top spec Jag registered the same year and most of the time I'd rather be driving the Transit.
The Jeep was nicer to drive than both so maybe there's something in that SUV thing.

I'd take a transit over a Jag.
I like to sit high up, so I don't like saloon cars, or any normal car tbh, I can't see me driving anything other than a 4x4 out of choice.

I was happy to drive 10 or 12 hour days in my old Transit camper can. The miles just slipped by.
My car at time was Audi TT. Awesome fun but not designed for long journeys.

Handy between hair salons though.

I got a Tourneo Custom LWB. Which I think is basically a Transit with nine seats.

It's pukka as fuck! I'm a vanny now! So be careful or I'll fight you outside a pub!

That'll be why he put LWB in the post.

Ooooooh get the claws on you

I'm on my phone so can't put pics up but will do when I'm back on the laptop.

It's nice to drive. Really high up. I was having a great time flashing the proper waggons in and out on the motorway on the way home. Like I was an actual lorry driver. What a twit!

[Potter]

It appears that we're not in Kansas anymore and I hate to mix my fantasy literature but I am Alice Pleasance Liddell and RTTL is the rabbit hole where The Pony, the Burberry cap wearing, JDM Supra driving real deal badboy of the internets has morphed into a white van man that drives a hybrid taxi for his daily bread

We all get old and boring at some point Pony

You're nobody until you've done your first elephant race.

I prefer the original Japanese name for it. The dubblefukyu.
