Modern Commer Replacement

[Pam the Weather]

I'd like to see that. I have used a Vito for 4 years as a rally servicebarge and its due to be replaced with a much larger Sprinter. The Vito has been such a good tool (4 le Mans, 70+ rallies and loads of race meets) i'm planning on converting it into a camper when it gets pensioned off.  My only concern is height. How does he find it?

this looks like a good bye

The ad says "Toilet Thetford". Now I have been to Thetford a couple of times in the past and found the locals to be carrot crunchers and the favourite mode of transport is the tractor. But, I think it is unfair to call this historic East Anglian market town a toilet. Now Slough, that is a toilet.

not too bad.. he raised it fractionally (dunno know how) so its just like a VW hippy surf stylee van.. but zillions times faster and way more comfortable

Its not dark red is it? There were 2 guys in a converted Vito next to us on Karting Nord at last years Classic.
Smart job, with a fibre glass roof extension.

Bob, did you know Thetford is home to Izal Medicated Toilet Tissue (sic), Parazone, Jeyes Fluid and Wet Ones, in addition to the eponymous Thetford comedy camping lavvys. You have to admit it's certainly well connected to the excrement industry. Thatford is also home to the worst hotel in the whole of England, The Bell.

I think it's unfair to call Slough a toilet, I like to think of it as more of a shithole.

I concur.  Slough is indeed a shithole!!!  Having worked there for four and half years I feel qualified to comment....

Oh and for those Chocaholics that like Mars bars.  There are made in Slough.

The van has been for sale on and off since Pre_quals 04, I don't really want to sell it, I just don't get the time to use it anymore. Plus I think I should start looking for a real house.
