Quality Jed. You certainly made the right works van choice. Get some contract work so you can thrash it around the unfinished housing estates, never mix up anywhere near it and if you want to try it out in France you can quote me for some dry-lining.
I suggest a 'No tools left overnight cus I'm in it every night off-roading' sticker.
For my van I'd like, 'The only tools left overnight in this van are the owner and his large adjustable spanner'

Are you taking her and yours to Oswestry?

Have you ever seen an automatic syncro?

i am not rough enough to plaster in France Johnny :lol:
i am planing on attending Oswestry on my own as i recon my mrs might get abit scared again. i will stick to gentle lanes for now with her and the little un. i have never seen an auto syncro and wouldn't of thought they did them for a t3 but not sure about a t4. you would have to get a few handles made up to climb up the side as they are quite a bit higher than a normal van. i still do that thing in mine, you know like when you think you are on the last run of a ladder but you still have one more left :lol:

if your thinking of getting one i bet syncronuts can modify something for you. it woulds be an interesting project for them if nothing else.

Jed, without wanting to sound like a right old moaning jobsworth...

You went greenlaning, for the first time, on your own?

What would you have done if you got really stuck?

First rule of laning that isn't it, always travel in numbers, basically someone to drag you out when you get stuck.

saw quite a few other 4x4 owners i am sure they would have been well happy to pull a "pooh" old vw out of a ditch, just so they could brag about it :lol: to be honest all the other people i met were really friendly and i didn't have to back up once. even when there was a convoy of three. i recon they were just surprised to see me their. its funny how few 4x4ers know about the t3 syncro.

fcuking jobs worth b'stard :lol:
