    Haven't been on much of late due to work, family and van stuff.

    Always wanted a transporter and finally took the plunge mid October. Here it is, 140bhp T30 version.

    Within a week I changed the wheels, not my ideal choice but came up at a bargain price so will do for over the winter

    Needs lowering, need to decide how much I want to spend and the ride quality.

    After some words of wisdom from my good pal Jimbo, who reminded me of the the trailer he has I couldn't refuse another great deal that come up. Needs the floor system so temporary fitted for now.

    Just now need to sell a couple of the cars to pay for it all :eek:

    Nice Van, I've always had vans but not for last few years, miss the freedom of my Van, Bed, Eberspacher, sat TV, life was great pulling up anywhere with no rush to go and find somewhere to stay. Used it all the time to go to the BSB etc was great.
