dad has just bought 57 plate 204Bhp Vito Sport.

Feels fast for a van but hell of a lot of money to put some tools in. Look Pretty Good too.

They are limited to 100mph (GPS) which should indicate around 104 on the speedo. It's because the tyres are only rated to 108mph! This is considered as unrestricted. Even having them chipped doesn't remove the limited as I found out. It just gets there quicker now.

Any new Sprinter less than a 315 is awful. The 313 is painfully slow so a 311 must be absolutely dire....

its 4x4.
also it bugs me when people say this. its heavyer than a normal sierra at the back cuz the chassis is like 2 reenforced gurders so u can put 2 tons on it.
the sierras oversteer like pigs anyway but ive set it up with the coilovers and adjustable everything until now i think its handeling fairly competantly.
