transit porn (new ones)

[Faker]

Seen this yoke in a filling station tonight... Now I really like vans, and I've owned a few over the years (personal use only). It's an M-Sport Transit Custom, and they're available in RS trim!

[Faker]

Bit or research later and I discover they're nearly 30k+vat!!!!

[Faker]

More porn pics! In say.... ten years from now... I will own one of these!

[Faker]

Like the older customs too!

[Pete-M]

A friend of mine has one of these new M sport jobs. It's a nice thing. Goes almost as well as the 3.2 nutter Transits.

What 3.2 nutter transit?!!

[Snipes]

I bet the seats are still shit. I always have back problems after being in one.

[Cavcraft]

I do like the look of the 'new shape' Transits, but that ones just screams 'driven by a 14 year old with a dodgy haircut and the back is full of stolen lead'

[83C]

I do like the current Transit Customs. Seriously tempted by one in a couple of years time.

[Jams]

Hmmmmmmmm I wonder if autoglass will get me one of these next?

More power-quicker to get to jobs time to serve reduced.

 

Also my current one is a high top and a 100bhp sluggish isn't the word!

[Timewaster]

Nothing says "Pikey" like a blinged up Transit.

[sierraman]

Those low profile tyres would be brilliant on a building site full of nails. When I was shopping round for an electrician, every tradesman that quoted £££££ insane prices was turning up in a flash van or a PCP funded Amarok etc. I'd got the feeling they were charging so much to pay for the van. Always had fucking dumb names like Electrical Solutions etc.

 

Eventually found someone that turned up in a hanging old van, seemed to know what he was on about and wasn't charging the earth.

[twosmoke300]

It's a difficult thing to judge as a business. You need something respectable esp if it's signwritten but you you don't want to come across as flash / pikey . My personal opinion is a nice tidy van in another colour from white with good clear sign writing that shows the owners name and phone number ( landline even better )

 

Having said that I've got a 55 white Ducato with no sign writing . But it is tidy and I don't need to advertise so I don't see much point in getting it stickered up .

 

Back to the original post - smart looking van but prob useless to use as a proper van

[Split_Pin]

There's a large demolition company near me that has a Conect RS. Looks grand for traversing the rubble.

 

Jakey AF as well.

Yes........a good electrician should know enough not to charge the earth

 

 

Sorry!

[oldcars]

Nice i like that. Will get one in 15 years time when its been welded up and has plenty issues

[brickwall]

Tradesmen should have their name and what they do on the side of their vans like the olden days. Along with contact details, anyway a van is meant to be a workhorse.

 

Just moaning a bit, you know.

[dave21478]

^^^^ In the olden days the world wasnt full of digital cameras and facebook groups.

Nobody is a perfect driver, not even me. An unmarked vehicles is just one of thousands like it, but signwritten vehicles stand out. One slightly ill advised maneuver and your pic might well end up all over the local facemoan group where mumsnet types will happily ruin your business reputation because your late lane change meant someone had to brake and little Tarquin and Jemima were in the back seat and totally could have been killed.....

[fordperv]

i think the spirit of it is more a motorsport support vehicle, like the old boreham turbo transits and 3.0 transits back in the day, i quite like it and the idea but then i also liked the martini transit

[NorfolkNWeigh]

Who else clicked on this link expecting to see the return of Fred, possibly with more in her series of Dominatrix pictures ?

 

Having one of those would like owing a Defender now or a Cossie in the 90's , you'd be doing counter surveillance moves every day on the way home from Tescos, just in case you were been followed.

I had an 05 plate Tourneo GLX and had a few early hours , flying out of the front door stark bollock naked brandishing a cricket bat( not a euphemism ) because a cat had triggered the security light. I only had it a few months and was amazed every morning that it still had its wheels.

[chaseracer]

Just to balance things out a little...

[Slartibartfast]

I drive a Tourneo Custom as my main car (cos of the unnecessary number of offspring I have), when it was new it looked like this

 

 

It's somewhat dirtier and has a few more scrapes on it two years on from that photo, but it's a bloody good car. A little starved for power (I have the mid range 120ps model, 2.2 TDCi)  but it drives extremely well.

 

The Transit Sport variant eats tyres for breakfast (nice expensive low profile ones) but apparently this has been common to all the Transit Sport models and is just part of the joy* of owning one.

 

The seats are very comfortable. And heated.

[They_all_do_that_sir]

There's a fella over here worth a fair bit of coin has one for towing his RS cosworth. Don't know him personally but remember him from my boy racer days. We all used to hang around in our corsas and he would turn up at 17 with IIRC a tuned escort RS turbo

You don't need to wait 15 years, most of them have to be welded up in their first year.

This, however, is not a van:

RS cosworths usually end up on a flat bed in the early hours of the morning, usually without the owner in tow.

Epic. Just saying like!!

My old transit, from about 10 odd years ago.

The painter we like and use now has an ancient Fiat van that can probably be fixed by talking to it in a stern manner; he is remarkably cheap and while the finish isn't absolutely top-dollar, we don't have a top-dollar house and it's eighteen thousand times better than myself and MrsYoof attempting the same job.

 

On the flip side, the Transit ST-TDCi thing that a previous tradesman turned up in quoted a figure triple that of our chosen chappie. There is something in that theory.

 

 

 

 

But I still like the blinged Transit; not quite as much as the Transit XJ220 mind.

Which was replaced by this..... which was a beaut. Low owner van that was never worked hard. Bloody hard to fuel though! Sold the toyota around 7 years ago. Lack of use...
