Bush Tucker Man:
There's a Transit down near me that has quad-exhausts & those nice 'Snow-Flake'(??) alloys that are usually on Galaxys

I'll try & get a picture of it

J66P:
I test drove one of these around ProDrives test track at Kenilworth in Warwickshire, believe you me they are blooming quick for a van, there is a lot of thought gone into other factors also ie.. brakes and suspension. Got to say I never bought the lads them thou I went for the slightly more basic Vito 111.

Terranger:
When the Series 1 Vito was upgraded to a CDi, I was invited to the launch at Bruntingthorpe Airfield, through my ex- boss, Mike, as we used to deliver Mercs as part of his contract.
We'd driven the trucks around, to generate interest in the local hauliers, but it started to rain, and everyone was just standing about the hospitality marquee.
The Sales manager approached us to get things going, so I went out, in a Vito, with Mike's 16 yr-old daughter in the passenger seat. On realising this little van had a bit of poke about it, I opened it up :arrow :twisted: ,[well, when would i get this sort of chance out on a racetrack again ?]
On the back straight, I got it up to 124 mph, and used the wet top corner to allow a tidy little drift at 55-60 mph, before I went back into the pits, where I was confronted with an angry Sales Manager, who gave me a sound ticking off  :oops: .
But as i turned away from my rollocking, I was asked by a local courier van owner what speed I got, so, I told him, he then approached the Sales Manager and put an order in for two Vitos.
I still didn't get to go out onto the track that day, but I enjoyed that David Coulthard moment.
Mike's daughter also fell out with me, as she had wet herself when we were sideways on that top corner  :lol:

BigSi:
How about one of these vans too!!!!  8)  8)  8)  8)
