Love that Jl!!!! The driver is great - funny that she hugged the van before the guys when she came into the studio at the end. And if you watch Part 1 you'll see she was saying she could beat the Top Gear guy's time when he drove a Jaguar even in a van. She'd make a great kiter or windsurfer I think. That drive reminded me so much of my epic trip down from Mt St Helens in the Sprinter coming back from the Gorge the first time. I kept up with the sports bike club's vanguard, who were scraping the leather off their knees - and doing double takes when they saw the Sprinter in their mirrors coming out of the turns. One of those once-only things, nothing still in the cupboards at the end and did two normal years of brake wear in 15 minutes. It was a lot of fun to see what the van could really do

You should see what she could do when she was driving the ring taxi. I got to do few laps of the ring (as a passenger) in a fully race prepped BMW 318ti (with a guy who attends all the open track days at the ring behind the wheel) and got to watch her pass us like we were standing still several times.
I still think VW is the solution ..

Thermals are good.
Good one, so the 4X4 option was for that tough paved parking lot at the beach....Peter Dee wrote:Jeep Grand Cherokee 4x4 ....signed waiver stated I cant go off-road
Love the 4x4 but the VW's are a nightmare for maintenance. And that little dirt road patch they put the van through....my honda civic couldda handled THAT
