That van looked so full of promise from the outside, what with the doors being nice & low but with a high roof line so I thought it would be perfect, but then I saw the internal view and can only conclude that driving that thing would be painful and not in a good way. Shame, but what an interesting van all the same.
How does one get one's feet at the pedals though? It looks to me like the automotive round from a bizarre pilot edition of the crystal maze..

:moon: ;)

How about a custom car with a sequential gearbox

Oversteer: when you hit the wall with the back of the car.
Horsepower: how fast you hit the wall.
Torque: how far you take the wall with you.

Shame it's not airworthy. Actually, no, that's a good thing because I don't have that category on my driving licence. :|

Hmm, so it should
Enid Blyton, or somebody at least as good at writing fiction, wrote:fly through a (sic) MOT
should it? OK, if that's what it says, then it must be true. *Cough* IVA tests are expensive and in some cases, this is a good thing.. ;)
