for those of you that have been following my Van saga with baited breath

traded the bloody thing in the end pile of crap movano, replaced it with a renault trafic what a difference in driving position had a vivaro few years back and loved that. Bit basic though with spec and wow a lot smaller but at least its the high roof fat people arnt meant to crawl around in the back of vans

anyway you can all stop worrying now i can get a comfy driving position in this

still going to sue the dealership/vauxhall for the seat cock up and total lack of customer service etc even if i get something its better than a poke up the bum with a pinapple

Trafic's are nice, I had one a couple of years back, nice van and comfy too  . Still can't beat an Astra van in my opinion though 

[paul.lovejoy]

yes agree but much tool small and cant take the weight.....of my tools before anyone says something mates got the spotive i wanted a sportive se or was it vxr any way gave me a semi just looking at it

Had all the variations of the Astra H van, all great in their own way, 1.3 was great on fuel, remapped 1.7 was highly modified, 1.9 Sportive SE, and the VXS which was a hot hatch killer  .

quite like the look of the fiesta sports van but would not evem get my lunch box in that

like the look of the new transist custom sports version but non available yet other versions are but miles too expensive after all it is only a box on wheels

I remember getting excited when I got, as a company van, one of the very first MK2 Transit Vans, compared to the MK1 it was pure luxury.........

[paul.lovejoy]

i had a mk2 v6 it was black ex gpo then sprayed it did however have an extra feature a 12" willie complete with balls made from putty by the decorators and stuck to the roof, only found it by chance and by the time i did it was well hard

vans today are well just like cars the movanop although crap seats had a/c computer everything its a worls apart from the old vans what about the old befod was it a tk cant remeber then if you were bad on the company they gave you that to drive if you were a good boy you got the marina van

The company i worked for had a number of MK1 V6 Transits for their Rally support, sadly, and yes I did ask, they would not let me have one, fond memories.......

[the alarming man]

I rember being towed in a V6 transit at full pelt around a round a bout it was to get the thing to run.....there was only one thing running once we stopped and it was not the van...it was my mate he thought it very funny....how on earth I kept that van going fowards and not sideways I will never know

Tell me you did that on purpose. Please.

   The small Bedford van would have been an HA. The CF was a far better van than the Mk2 tranny, more comfortable drive but thirsty/unreliable engines. The Bedford Chevane was bad, slow and had a clutch like an on/off switch
