My van

[bobbin]

I said i'd show you all, so here it is -

Got to get it sign written, got to go to my mate for a couple of days to get super polished and buffed before, had a new respray and and they polished swirl marks into it
Need them out before it gets done.

Let me know what you think.

MG ZR 160 Express 16v VVC, performance chipped and remapped ECU, ITG Panel filter, full custom made Powerflow stainless exhaust from manifold through to back box, de-cat.
Lowered 35mm on Spax springs
Full Spax adjustable suspension
EBC Turbo Groove discs all round, green stuff pads all round.
Tinted front windows, limo black rear window.
High and low beam HID's
0-60 = 6.9 secs
Top Speed - 143mph

Oh yeah, the car version is group 16 insurance, as this is a CDV (Car Derived Van) it's a group 4!!!!
I think they only made about 300 of these.

Tim Westwood, would be proud of you.
Not for me, for many reasons, I'd prefer a simple run of the mill van.
But, whatever floats yer boat, as they say

Cheers mate, I wanted a car but needed a van, this was my best option. Can get everything I need in it and I also have a roof rack.

Also when it gets sign written, perfect advertising board, people notice it, and as it's a car, I keep it clean and polished. I think if I had a traditional van, I wouldn't keep it clean, also I never liked the interior of vans, to plain, I get Air Con, part leather seats and all the comfort of a car.

I would have went for a double cab pick up with a boxed loading area, if i was in your position.

But, I'm not a speed demon, so 143mph, means hee-haw to me

Double cab no good to me mate, too costly to run, don't go off road, and the tyres cost a fortune.

Top speed is just a figure, I have no speeding points (touches wood ) just ice to know I have a bit of poke if needed!

Roof rack on that........DON'T be bloody stupid..........

[whitebeam]

Would,nt want a 2.5m trim twanging me in the ear

[smurf21]

wot ye gonna fold ye trim in half and tow ye bridge saw behind ye ,,lol nice motor but not big enough for me

[Droopy]

Do you need to go off road in a doublecab pick-up????
As for running costs, mpg would be pretty close to that, no?
You will also wish you had added 35mm to those springs, not taken it off, the first time you load it with your kit and a few 20kg bags of powder.

But it DOES look good
