So, I've almost bought it….

All the T5’s I was looking at were coming in a little spendy for the spec I wanted, so……

I’ve put a (fully refundable) deposit on the other one from my earlier van thread.

One off custom pearlescent paint job, remapped to 180bhp, full leather heated seats, sat nav, camera, aircon, lane assist, cruise, Bluetooth, DAB etc

I might change my mind when I see it in the flesh

Del boys latest set of wheels?

Superb.

I hope you’ll not be letting any muddy bikes near that

That’s gorgeous

Your having a race if I see you over belper way 😉

There’s no way in hell I’d buy that (although I’d be popular with my kids) but I love the fact you have, good work! The colour is both utterly disgusting and completely awesome.

My daughter hates it 😀

It’ll have bikes, tools, muddy boots, the lot in it

Oldest of my 3 is 6, I imagine a 13 year old girl being picked up from school in it would be mortified!

Maybe ask yourself why anyone would offer a refundable deposit?
Just what is in it for them?

Looks like an AA van thats crashed into halfords

Well the colour is bold.. rest looks good any reason for the remap? Planning on racing off the lights? Bit short of clearance too isn’t it?

Looks fabulous 🙂

It’s a medium sized outfit who customise vans – mainly T5’s and offer it on all their vehicles

Well as a car dealer (nuts, just admitted to that) all I can say that as an honest dealership we refuse to take a refundable deposit unless the car/van is not as described, I don’t see the point of letting someone reserve a vehicle with a get out if you could lose a buyer in the mean time.

Yeah but this is bright yellow, whats the chances of 2 mugs coming past in one week…
(It could also mean they have 5 of them ready to go and it only looked that yellow once it had dried)

Its a custon – check those alloy wheels and the tires are weight rated to the van. Look like stock st offerings to me in the photo- of course they may be vam rated st customs……but i didnt see them on the fordi options list when i looked at transit customs.

How ever i will say out of all the vans you posted that does look much better than the t5s you were looking at.

With the added safety bonus of being sunburst yellow!

Well you pointed out it’ll carry bikes and bike gear so you get a big Yay from me, not sure why you need lane assist or a camera but he, I don’t know how you drive 😆

You could turn up in a Ferrari and she’d still be mortified. You’re her father, it comes with the territory.

Edit: nice van, though, love the colour. Not sure about the wheels+clearance, though, that could be a bit of a pain.

The mustard busturd. 😉

Very nice! Told you right at the start of this you should consider a transit. 8)

Your daughter is right. That paint job is one of the worst I have ever seen. Anyone watch Limmy’s show?

Could you face looking at that in the driveway every day?
I think Yellow will look good for about a week and then you’ll end up hating it.

It’ll be this next (caution it’s a bit sweary)
😉

With that little clearance I’d have thought you could be struggling not to bottom out getting to the start of lots of the places I’d want to use it… The colour is truly amazing though.

I like it, but then again thisd is my mate , Bob’s, CF:

just sayin…..

The “drug dealer goes camping” look 🙂

Vans are the only vehicles that look cool with the Max Power/crashed into Halfords look, as it shows the owner has a great sense of humour 🙂

Well, it’s better than a RR Evoque.

🙂

Your’re riding with the big dawgs now

Immediate thoughts were this:

Then it got worse:

Then hit rock bottom:

It’s pearlescent paint, so looks better in the sun – the graphics will be coming off if I have it…

A white one would be faster. More seriously, I’lld be concerned about the colour limiting the re-sale potential in 2/3 years ?

Beauty is very much in the eye of the beholder.

I couldn’t drive it – my Wife would kill me if I pulled up to the house with it.

You’ve GOT to get that Mustang to park next to it on the drive.

😆
