For anyone interested in what I now have to drive, its a VAN or if you prefer VWs "corporate people carrier" and its a bit bigger than the sharan etc. And its FWD which I hate.
But I needed to get something that could be converted for use with a wheelchair, with a side door lift, flat floor, hand controls, 6 way adjustable drivers seat etc after landing in a wheelchair a few years back...
Bit different from V8 powered nitrous Sierras, 300 bhp turbo nitrous drag bikes and the rest...
But its VR6 powered (2.8V6) has a fuzzy logic controlled (read crap) 4 speed auto box that is supposed to learn how you drive and decide if its a race or a shopping trip. It does that all right. You follow a car that you wanna pass for a mile and then theres a gap. Now because you go slow for a bit it starts changing gear early and is very reluctant to kickdown. Good job that ReaceLogic do a manual switch kit then!!! Thats that fixed!
The engines a smooth revvy thing with no power. Does about 120 flat out.
It also has passive rear wheel steering, traction control, Limited Slip Diff, cruise control, (essential) leccy windows, seperate air con/ climate control thingy for the front/rear, central locking, power steering, abs, tons of soundproofing, leccy mirrors, hand controls, chair lift, 6 way electrically adjustable drivers seat and a fridge for beer. And its built like a tank! Its now 7 years old and that photo was taken yesterday/day before. Its absolutely as new.
But its gotta go. I want rear drive bigger US van with V8 and rear drive (back to what I KNOW is better!) with full leather interior etc...
Anyway heres a piccy.
