RoadworkUK Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Superb. Youtube's views-per-clip stat monitoring people are probably wondering what on Earth's going on. brickwall 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cort16 Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 The point he calls Avad a dick head in the voice over is the highlight so far. purplebargeken, r.welfare and beko1987 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trigger Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 I'm watching this now via my PS3 and through my Tele. It's great, the narrator is so blunt! I now really want a Mk2 Transit Van too. purplebargeken 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Bo11ox Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 My dad & I just sat and watched that. Class!!!! I was sorry when they jettisoned the burned out seats though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was sorry when they jettisoned the burned out seats though.I bet that lovely R20 fella wouldn't have spoiled it by telling us the story... Red, white and blue transits - Ace.

PiperCub Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Great viewing for a nightshift. Love the Yorkshire/Pakistani accent and the 'oh FFS' way he narrates half the time and eating curry their wives had previously prepared for them at the roadside. My shift leader is Pakistani (via Scotland!) and he was telling me this sort of roadtrip was all the rage in his community in the 70's & 80's with usually whole families going along on these road trips. They then sold the vans at the other end for usually a really good profit as they were then highly prized Did you notice all the Mk1 Transits that were kicking about in Karachi when they showed the street scenes?

trigger Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 All those Mk1 & 2 imported British Transits everywhere was my idea of heaven! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Bo11ox Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 I love the blokes accent. I wish he'd said 'PROPER BO' with a double thumbs up when they got to Pakistan though HMC, trigger, scruff and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HMC Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 BRILLIANT! The narration makes it, frank and honest- very refreshing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHRIS1980 Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Seen this a few years ago,loved it. Sadly that trip is probably impossible/dangerous now. I would love to do something like this,even not to make any money just for the crack. And I bet those transits are still running around doing what they were designed to do even to this day.

cobblers Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 This is the best thing I have ever seen. Why didn't they wheel the telly in and play this kind of thing at school when I was 10?, instead we had to watch Goodnight Mr Tom which has a similar plot but is less heartwarming.

cort16 Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 I finished watching this tonight, great stuff.I wonder if the vans ever made it? If you tried to drive three transits on that route now you'd probably get taken out by a drone strike . Lacquer Peel and dugong 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fred Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Sounds like a guy I used to work with - with more of a brummie dialect - ''Oi Yow wha yow dooin ? havin a fag wivout me innit yow cunt'' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil_lihp Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Brilliant stuff, I've only seen the first part but I'll come back to it, it's worth it just for the street scenery alone. I particularly enjoyed seeing Budapest still in its communist rule as I've been there twice recently and recognised the bridge immediately, these days it's crowded with VWs and Volvos though rather than Dacias, Trabants and Ladas.

Dippy Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 A great film and a great idea to put all these amazing videos in one place, I look forward to seeing more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junkman Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 A bit like the Italian Job, just with Transits and not in Turin. beko1987, dugong and HMC 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trigger Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 To be fair even Mrs T watched it and laughed and that's very unlike her to watch my "car crap". garethj, dugong and chaseracer 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheggers Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Brilliant. Can't have been a cheap trip in the end but what an adventure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beko1987 Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Apart from being generally shite-tastic anyway, look at the prices of the transits at the beginning! I'm too young to remember when smilies fetched that sort of money, although thinking about it a good non rusty one would probably be worth about the same now, looks like they've come full circle! Vans of the age they took with them would be doubled, tripled in value in that condition? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beko1987 Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Just finished it! Ace video! And yes, interesting to see these places before they turned into the places they are now... The narrator though, was like a pakistani version of bub2006! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felly Magic Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 I've watched it a while back, bloody brilliant, and I can vouch for the accents too, as I used to work with some Pakistanis from Bradford.

MrBiscuits Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 Good watch that brightened up a boring evening on a work trip - thanks for the link! Thought the vans stood up quite well - although one was smoking a bit on startup... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
