Nothing handles better than a rental

[Darren-B]

I was delivered a Hire van yesterday after some prat drove into the side of my van on Friday whilst it was parked. A high top, long wheelbase merc sprinter, with all the toys. It`s practically brand new, on a 62plate, with only 380 miles on the clock. After a quick inspection with the delivery driver, all seemed to be ok until I took a look down the side for door dings etc. I then realised that the entire drivers side of this panel van had been replaced So I insisted that this was noted.

Well it handles like a rental, takes corners well, warms up quick in the morning & the suspension takes speed bumps like a Boss. TC can be switched off & it`s RWD. White van man, king of the road.

But it does make you wonder the hidden history of some vehicles, even new ones.

I was a white van man for the day Sunday, hired one from Dartford van place on upper heath lane.... It is amazing how quickly you get into the part I was cutting up cars and leaning out of the window shouting abuse in no time %%**%*& !!!!!!!!

Its like the saying goes whats the fastest car in the world? A rental

Well if you had parked in a better place he would not have hit your van

 

Hope you get it all sorted mate

The original part of that van is now on a mini

Had a rental transit for sofa moving duties last week. I don't think either the gearbox or engine really liked my "white van man" driving style.

 

Had a lot of fun taking it an early morning blast round the twisties - I imagine it was the first time this particular transit had been treated to the joys of heel-toeing

90% of ford transits fresh off the production line have to have major bodywork or repairs done to them before they leave the factory so it could be a genuine factory repair unless its a different colour.....
