Don't discount vans...
A few years back at a show I saw a bright green metallic painted Toyota van. Very nice paint, chrome alloy wheels suited it, lowered, dark tint, big exhaust and engine sounded like it had some work done to it, but that was about it.
Then he opened the back. good god.
Inside was dark fabric lined, with hidden LED lighting, a smallish L-shaped lounge across the front and down one side, a drinks fridge, and on one wall a big LCD flatscreen TV and in a nicely fitted cabinet below it was a PS2 and one of the older white XBox 360's (this was a few years ago when they were new). It looked awesome in there, and certainly not what you'd expect to see in an old van. The drivers cockpit was similarly modified and modernized.

I always wanted to do something similar to a classic shaped old Bedford van. but good ones of them have risen to stupid prices.

You do know most women don't give the slightest **** about what car you drive unless you have and expensive car and they are a gold digger.

Can't say I have ever pick up a date in a car park. They never know what I own until I go to take them somewhere.

I apologise if my ''joke'' may (obviously) offended you. This is the reason I don't post more often because peoples feathers get ruffled over something so minuscule.

Not a fan must say! Driving a van around town while everyone else is kicking back and relaxing? Would rather drive a sporty 2 door where no one else can fit

I'm not offended, but sometimes it hard to tell who's joking and who is being serious online. Plus I may of had a couple of beers when posting the last comment.

I have

I first asked my now wife out, through the drivers window of my Mazda 1300 2 door station wagon (that we dubbed the tool box) in the UWS car park after a night lecture

What she didn't know though was I used to drive the toolbox to uni because I didn't feel want to park my then current model NC fairlane Giha in the students car park

No, it's one of the regular engine options. In North America, the Transit will have a 3.7 V6, 3.5 EcoBoost V6, or 3.2 I5 diesel.
