Very impressive Gareth/Rich..........on a long slightly up-hill road you get used to a van losing speed/power but Bernie's transit just keeps accelerating - much like a stage 1 Cossie does
I used to own a Merc Sprinter Van (sold it to Steve Scott at A1 rally Sport)...was the high power 2.9 turbo/intercooled model - cannot recall how much BHP....but it was quick by van standards.......
Bernie's van is in another league .....On the road it would get many a Merc Sprinter Van driver thinking "what the f**k is that "

Even got a ding in the bonnet hasn't it!
Fuel economy must be painful though

)

What 'box does it have, 6 speed sequential!

The one i had a while back was indeed great fun and surprised everyone 
Remember the look on a poxy Boxter drivers face as i passed him on the motorway having flashed him out of my way at over a ton lol Mine had a T5 box but the biggest downer on the thing was the standard rear diff! It used to spin one wheel all the time and just didn't move lol With a decent slipper it would have been awesome and could carry half your house contents
