what do u get to the gallon?

believe it or not there terrible on fuel, about 270 miles to a tankful which is crap really considering..... getting new vans next m,onth, quite upsetting really as i have become attached to my connect van, drives really well, handles excellently as they have stiffer springs on the rear to handle safe weight, and i have found the perfect sleeping position in them, they are replacing them with citroen nemos although unlimited is ugly, small and gay lol

here is my beast after a run in with some pikeys

I think Ian Birch wins this contest. Twin GT28 Audi S3 engined new shape Caddy. Did something like 740bhp combined flywheel power and 620bhp at wheels recently. Im sure Shorty will confirm if the figures are correct or not as he was there!

i will dig out the other pic, it was alot more than the windscreen, they had to replace door, wing, bonnet, the whole actual piullar etc, the picture makes it look quite tame but there was some nasty digs etc
