I'm not exactly a regular poster here these days (not sure if anyone is tbh), so some newbies won't know who I am, but I always used to get stick on here because I was kinda like the black sheep of my family car wise. My dad has a nice collection, and my brother has had nice cars too (understatement I suppose), and I was quite happy running around my 2.8 Passat 4Motion which was bought as a winter minter many moons ago.
The Passat is still here, but I added a 2013 Ford Transit Sport 140 to the driveway One of 150 made in Ink Blue with silver stripes. 32k miles and pretty damn clean for a 3yr old work van

Why? Always see chav plasterers with these, sitting a centimetre off your rear bumper.

A van is handy for my photography. I have a lot of gear these days and I can't fit it all in a car anymore.
I also do some courier work for City Sprint now and again.
Oh, it's also handy for moving go karts and other toys around

Awaiting Davey cat C to come along and tell you he could have got a Cat A with a fucked engine for a third of the price.
Good vans. Backbone of Britain as they say.

I wondered that too. But I guess that might be a little too much.

That was my first thought when I saw them too. I hated them at first although they're growing on me a little, but I still think they're going to get changed.

Yup, everything on it is exactly how it came from the factory.

1 previous owner who was my cousin so I know the history of the van and there's nothing dodgy about it at all.

Always liked these, wouldn't mind one myself if they weren't so expensive.
Everyone says they look like venoms
I bet these are worth a fortune in the future as well.

Please don't
Haven't seen any updates from your dads collection, does he still have the two RS's and the 993?

Leon Cupra R, White focus RS, Focus RS500, 993 Turbo, and he added a Gen 2 997 GT3 RS to the fleet...
On the list for a few other things too, but not sure if they'll happen or not.

Funny you should say that, my uncle has a Diablo...
He toyed with the idea of an F40 a while back but said he's always been put off my the ownership costs of them, but he's kicking himself now considering they've jumped up about 500K since he thought about it.

Can't believe you've just come up with that pic
He'll kick himself even more if he doesn't buy one now and they go up another few million within ten years!

He's down for a Macan GTS, Gen 2 991 GT3 RS and a 991 GT2 RS so I think his money will be reserved for those if he gets lucky.

Smart that Blu. If I had to go for a van think I'd choose a Transit tbh. Just something about them.

To be honest I didn't think I'd change from my VW Transporter, but this has enough goodies to make the transition easier. Digital radio, cruise controll and heated seats for a start.
