For anyone interested in what I now have to drive, its a VAN or if you prefer
VWs "corporate people carrier" and its a bit bigger than the sharan etc. And
its FWD which I hate.
But I needed to get something that could be converted for use with a
wheelchair, with a side door lift, flat floor, hand controls, 6 way adjustable
drivers seat etc after landing in a wheelchair a few years back...
Bit different from V8 powered nitrous Sierras, 300 bhp turbo nitrous drag
bikes and the rest...
But its VR6 powered (2.8V6) has a fuzzy logic controlled (read crap) 4 speed
auto box that is supposed to learn how you drive and decide if its a race or a
shopping trip. It does that all right. You follow a car that you wanna pass
for a mile and then theres a gap. Now because you go slow for a bit it starts
changing gear early and is very reluctant to kickdown. Good job that
ReaceLogic do a manual switch kit then!!! Thats that fixed!
The engines a smooth revvy thing with no power. Does about 120 flat out.
It also has passive rear wheel steering, traction control, Limited Slip Diff,
cruise control, (essential) leccy windows, seperate air con/ climate control
thingy for the front/rear, central locking, power steering, abs, tons of
soundproofing, leccy mirrors, hand controls, chair lift, 6 way electrically
adjustable drivers seat and a fridge for beer. And its built like a tank! Its
now 7 years old and that photo was taken yesterday/day before. Its absolutely
as new.
But its gotta go. I want rear drive bigger US van with V8 and rear drive (back
to what I KNOW is better!) with full leather interior etc...
Anyway heres a piccy.

Less sad computers with decent monitor www.fatnfast.com/turbine/van2.jpg
Fast connections and BIG monitors (like mine) Big piccy

How much are you asking (not that I can justify having another car/van) but I do
fancy getting that and sticking one of the supercharger kits on it.
