It goes quite well to be honest, but it wouldn't suit TB's sideways driving style!   :o ;D
I found they went reasonably well, up to illegal road speeds, but drinks like a drunk in doing so.

Didn't have the loaner long enough to see what it would manage when no being thrashed everywhere.

With the high centre of gravity I don't think whanging it into a roundabout or tight corner at warp speeds, as you do TB would end well.  :-\  ;)

It does however have 'presence' on the road due to it size and it does go well in a straight line.  :y  I ran out of duel carriageway the other day though when doing an overtake that wouldn't have bothered the Mundano or Beemer.  :o  ::)  ;D

Do I detect road rage already?

No I feel quite superior sat up there looking down on all you plebs!  ;D

Sir Tig...... if you will insist on buying 'a van with windows' then the Range Rooney fitted with the 5.0 S/C V8 would probably be a better bet for moving something so heavy. Fuel consumption would probably be similar judging from the figures you are currently getting with derv.

It will still be slow, but not glacially slow.
Last time I borrowed a S/C RR, £100 of fuel got me from Oxford to home, to Huntingdon, to home, back to Oxford ::)

More pauper than patrician, Sir Tig.

The S/c RR is about 600 KG more than my car (about one whole Westfield)

Even so 10 -12 MPG suggests you don't suffer with 'Tunnie foot'
