Keyser Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 Yes I'm afraid it is my turn to post one of these "practicality had to come first" threads So it was with a heavy heart I traded my baby in today for something a little more practical, Unlike most however the number of seats was not actually the issue, mine was space and transporting things around. Now don't get me wrong I have loved owning her and I am sure I will miss all that power from time to time but at least the new "practical" transport has a few things going for her Of course a lot of you know me so when I say practical I usually like to do practical with a touch of something a bit different - So the first thing to do when looking for something practical with space and seats are not an issue is to look at vans, While browsing the interweb I found a company that built a van that they at least claim holds the lap record for a commercial vehicle at the Nurburgring I know what your thinking - I went and bought it ..... No No No No Not me Never I'm not that mad O no - I went one better than that I bought the van they built to beat the record Allow me if you will to introduce my new "Practical" transport affectionately known as the "Race Van" or The Nurburgring Spec Ford Transit Custom - Now apart from all the usual refinements of a new (2014) Transit Custom she has a few other little modifications Custom Leather seats Carbon Fiber detailing Upgraded ICE Full acoustic lining, colour coordinated of course Custom Matte Black Paint with Focus green highlights Sorry about the pics only had my phone She also has a custom induction system and a custom Miltek zorst to name but a few of her qualities So how does she go? Like a stabbed rat (ask Buster) So there we have it my new "practical" transport even have a pic of the exchange - so sad but then so happy - What?? You thought I meant I traded in the 370??? Shame on you Keyser 11 Quote
Stutopia Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 LOVE IT, not sure about the GREEN though Quote
GMballistic Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 I did think the 370 had gone then, ...must learn to skip to the bottom more often with these threads. Looks pretty mean and its got some green too. 1 Quote
Darren-B Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 You saw my Gold one last year & just had to have one didn't you? 1 Quote
350zedd Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 ha ha you had us goin' for a minute there Quote
jimboy2 Posted August 26, 2015 Posted August 26, 2015 Haha I thought the 370 was a goner then too. I drive one of these as my daily works van. Although not up to your spec. I love it. Done 50k in just over a year and it hasn't missed a beat. One thing to watch is the battery but I'm guessing with your uprated ice you may have a bigger battery than mine. My battery will die very very quickly if the engine isn't running. Quote
Keyser Posted August 26, 2015 Author Posted August 26, 2015 You saw my Gold one last year & just had to have a better one didn't you? Fixed that for you O and Yes Quote
