  1. Mine is a T6 kombi. Its auto and easy to drive. Its also 4wd ffs. I’ll be getting a poptop fitted v soon, then rnr bed. Ive done all the thermal insulation and lining and the internal electrics. I just like the relaxed and higher driving position. Much nicer than my old rust on wheels t2 money pit. Plus it can go uphills and the brakes work.

  2. i'm getting pretty close to a clear out. i too fancy a T6. i currently have 8 cars. i dont have time to maintain my 5 bikes either. if i was wise, i would get rid of 4 of em, keep the crf and get a hyper, get rid of 5 of the cars and get us a T6 4x4.
    bet i dont tho, coz i is a lazy fuger.

  5. What age is that? A campervan is my own personal nightmare!

    I do hotels where somebody else can clean up my mess...

  8. I've found that you reach a sort of critical mass at around 3 or 4 vehicles where because you don't have time to use them or stay on top of the maintenance and admin such as MOT/tax etc that within 6 months, none of them are rideable/driveable. If Isaac Newton hadn't got distracted by thinking about the motion of apples, cannon balls and the Moon or f*cking about with prisms he probably would have discovered that there's an inverse square law which states that the more horfef and/or carriagef ye own by the grace of God, then the leff ye ride them.

  10. I love my van. Its even got heated seats ffs. But its the adaptive cruise control I love the most. Just set it at 70 and bobs a fanny. Its got all the bells and whistles you'd expect in a high end vw golf ffs.

    4wd and ive no idea what the diff locks for lol. Wifey still goes to the odd crusty festi and wanted to ensure she didnt get stuck in a muddy field. (for 0.001% of the time thatll ever happen)

    It powerful too for a van 204hp. But I'm a slow guy on 4 wheels. So, meh. But the torques nice. My old T2 was 0-60 never and 0-55ish in about a week. 50hp from factory maybe but 20-30 of those horses had bolted years ago.

  12. Make a cuppa? MAKE???

    I'm on holiday and therefore I make nothing!!!
     
  13. It’s not often I argue with people on here but you’re WRONG. :triumph:

    There’s nothing better than sitting by the window watching the sun come up/go down with a brew on the go.
