When he said he was borrowing his mates Transit then I thought it was either going to be one of the Ford Supervans or a YB'd Transit... once it rocked up on XJ220 wheels then I couldn't wait to see it go with that running gear!!

I thought might have been a Cossie one too but would've had to have been something proper special to beat 380bhp V8 power.
