Just helped a friend relocate from York to Norwich (poaching staff from my old place, mwahahahaha!), so hired a hicube long wheelbase 3.5t twin rear axel van thing for the long weekend.
Sadly, it wasn't a Transit, but a LDV Convoy. There's nothing wrong with LDVs, I suppose, but I prefer Transits. But at least it had the 90 PS 2.4 Duratorq engine!
And it's reminded me of a few things. LDV doesn't know what "sound insulation" is so you get to hear everything happening in the engine bay - the diesel rattle under very slight load, the whine of the turbocharger spooling up, the hissing of the turbocharger, and the combination of a whoosh and a rumble under full power. :) Wish Kermit could make these noises when I wanted him to (and not when I just wanted to get home, heh).
I suppose an average of 31 mpg over almost 900 miles means I wasn't driving it fast enough! ;)
