Who drives the fastest work van? Remember you sprinter boys aint as good as you used to as the other vans are just as fast.

I drive a ford Tourneo with a 2.0 TDCi engine that has about 125bhp (I think) it can do 100mph easy with 9men in it and loads of leaflets in it.

 

blacky..............the royal nail van.............400bhp...........

 

i think big jeff at chorley st garage has u pipped


hes got a ford connect, converted to focus rs running gear ,


sure thats good for 145 lol

beef

 

fuck yeah , forgot about blacky !!

 

got a Sprinter, not much gets near it

Fasts normal van I have been in was a top of the range TDI caddy, my boss had 125 on the needle, GPS said he was doing just above 115mph.

That van flew!

 

but all are beaten by are deristricted 7.5 ton Man Lorry! Animal

 

Fiat doblo multijet.
Seen 95 on the GPS.
Private road etc

 

Andy G will have soon won't he?

 

five pot tdci tranny ftw!

 

ever drove a peogeot partner? they are pretty fun but try and stop one in the wet and it just skids, skids and skids some more until you end up in France.

 

i've got 240 ps tranny

 

not works van but ours. Its had few mods at collins performance. Had 120 on speedo...on an airfield of course

 

id say the trany with the jag xj220 motor cos andy aint done his yet

 

cool.

just to clarify all top speed attempts were achieved on a private piece of land and in the hands of profetionals. he he.

 

Dunno about the fastest but i might have the slowest with my 70bhp beast!

 

My tranny is 135ps 6 speed used to be the fastest transit available until a couple of years ago.Struggle for traction on wet roads and roundabouts does about 110mph flat out but for some reason wont rev out in 6th gear

 

it's gott be big geoff cos blackys aint a work van is it?

Geoff or damo are in it every single day chatterin it's tits off

 

1.9tdi VW Transporter.... 99mph on GPS, 105mph on speedo

 

blacky uses his for work every day mate

 

The old 2.5 flat diesal transits were slow, but they are good work horses.

 

Really?

What does he do?

 

Delivers mail, what do you think he does

 

postman i think

 

 

theres a pic from bruntrs before the van was finished & mapped not bad for a shonky old van whats the speed at 7200rpm on a saph cos 4x4 gearing?????

jacko i dont use it every day but i use it asmuch as i can afford to

i get some strange looks sat in traffic on the A66 lol

ps i work as a mechanic

 

blacky it depends on ur wheel/tyre size......best way to find out is to come out with me........................

 

i got 120 with my transit fitted with a yb last year,didnt realise i was doing it till i looked at speedo,3 weels later the back wheel fell off on a country lane,i was lucky that day

funny feeling driving down the road to see your own wheel overtake you

 

 

In Norway we have some strange rules, which means I can have a VW Touran as a van. Mines a 2.0 TDi 140bhp with DSG box, does 0-62 10.3 and topspeed around 120mph.
It obviously had to get some coilovers and 19"s fitted

 

Is that up round manchester way? Drove past it last week i think, blue transit (cossie'd?) outsude, looked

 

now you seem to have forgotten about gooses transporter lol 225 bhp 400 feet pound hahaha 135 mph fully loaded on 22"

 

mine....

Corsa 1.3 cdti diesel....90 bhp...110mph.

 

definately NOT mine




on a 5.1 back axle,76mph flat out on the gps

 

My mate has a 24v fitted in his transit, goes well

Steve.

 

My T5 is quick enough but i think this guy would be a tad quicker!
