New family vehicle
New family vehicle
I got told that the wife's A3 wasnt practical enough...so I got her a VW Transporter Kombi 6 seat 150...and then put 20s on it, bilstein coilovers and remapped it. It's so much fun but I may have to sell a kidney as the shopping list to modify it is rather long.

Re: New family vehicle
There's lots left to do...sportline front bumper/rear spoiler, side bars, LED headlights/rear lights, stereo and components, sound deadening and carpeting in the rear and leather retrim. Quick way to spend £10k...so it'll take a while to do it all especially as it's 'only' the family car.
Graham, it drives very differently to a car but the coilovers has changed it completely. No floating around corners or bouncing over bumps. The remap has taken it from 150bhp to 190bhp and a chunk more torque. I'd definitely have a look at a caravelle, if you're looking for a motor home, but its pricey for what it is.
Don't comment on the bikes...apparently I've hit my N+1 level!

Have you had the whips cut down Simon?
I seem to remember them being 6 foot, or did I make that up???

It's all about the Ariels, the Red Transporters and the bikes Simon! Love my (pink) van....Andrew is going colour blind because he's getting so old
