The beginning
Picking Picking the right van was a far more difficult task than it aught to have been, but then I am a picky bugger. Having recently sold my Audi A4 Avant B7 Sline SE 2.0 Tdi 180ps (to give it is's short name) I had gotten used to a rather plush drive. I also had to shift the urge to not buy one of those big bi-turbo S6's or similar, so suffice to say my research was far reaching. My needs were simple. I wanted a reasonably interesting vehicle that could transport a couple of guys, bikes and kit to a race and back . A car and trailer were an option, but an undesirable one, if I ever wanted to take up motorcycle racing seriously. That left a van. There are lots of these about but they are generally agricultural at best which is great if you are using it for work but this would also need to be my primary caging device and as mentioned before I had turned into a bit of a tart so this was going to be tricky. So a premium van was in order; realistically leaving me the Merc...
