Few questions!

Hi people,
Not long joined up i just had a couple of questions does a T25 pop top fit in a standard size garage or not as i'm looking at pop tops and high tops so just wondered?
Also whats it like driving a LHD T25 in the UK i have driven LHD abroad before but is it a lot different as you are still driving on the same side of the road just different side of the car?

Thanks

Hi Fozzie. Our pop top is a Syncro and won't fit in our garage. As for driving LHD in the UK, we have two LHD T3 vans, both of us drive them and its a piece of wee. You quickly get used to it.

Thanks for the quick reply yeah i can't see it being too hard like you say just getting used to it.
Would be nice if i could fit it in the garage

I take it LHD and power steering make it a lot easier too?

[Winchweight]

PAS makes driving easier generally, but no difference whether LHD or RHD.

One of our vans has PAS and one doesn't. Don't really notice the difference unless in a bog or Bucketbabe (Mrs Ww) is parking it. Tyre choice, profile and pressure, makes more difference tbh.

What's a standard garage?

One with a Vanguard inside

That'll be over a lot of people's heads!

Personally much prefer RH drive as most of my time in the van is in the UK.

Haha i just mean your most common single up and over garage door seen on most housing estates!

The newer the house the smaller the garage. You need a 1970's place or earlier to have a garage big enough for a tintop:

16' x 8'6 will just do it but you still have to leave the van via the slider.

I agree with SB, It all depends on the builder.
It's like saying I want a 'standard' house.

I arrived on a visit to a mate some years ago and he had just bought an American muscle car. So before my feet had touched the ground he whisked me off on a thrash around the country lanes in this throbbing V8 machine.
After a few high speed blind corners with me in the driving seat with no steering wheel or foot pedals I just put my head between my legs and atheist and all, gave praying a go.
Surprised to get back in one piece not in body bag I tackled his wife about it and she said that she had tried to stop him as he had been on the plonk all afternoon.

Moral of story:
1 - obvious.
2 - think about you passengers before getting a south paw vehicle.
Cheers(!)
