Collection of An Family Car

Very happy with it. Feast your eyes on the acres of diagonally striped grey fabric:

Looks really nice, these are great vans. 

Here is my old one, currently with my Dad, though I might be getting it back soon as he is getting on a bit and doesn't really drive much anymore. 

 

It is a 5 pot petrol auto and acceleration is leisurely at best but definitely a comfy way to get about.

Quite jealous of the auto box as changing gear in this one is a case of imagining where it might be and throwing the stick in that rough direction with as much wrist strength as you can muster.

Heh, sounds about right, at least you'll get a workout, you can save money on the gym 🤣

The auto in this one supposedly learns how you drive and adapts but in practice it just gets lazy and you have to use VCDS to reset it again. Does yours have the blue clocks?

Yes it does - feels very weird being in a T4 with indigo backlighting when all the rest of the switchgear is early 90s VAG.
