:lol: A few of my friends made similar jokes.. I just need to get myself a CD player and figure out how to set up my speakers properly so I get full surround sound instead of either front or back which I have at the minute :P

Well done tom! Are you going to get a big van now for Uk tours? :D

_tom_ · « **Reply #34 on:** August 30, 2006, 10:32:17 PM »

Tours? With what band?! :lol:

I actually wouldnt mind one of those VW camper things, but it'd take a lot of work to do up how I'd like one probably (dark red with chrome trim etc 8)). And I doubt they go very fast which is never fun :P

Camper vans V's speed! Well you can't have your cake and eat it! Give me a camper van 8) over a fast car any day! Fast cars are great but they are a money pit.

(That's coming from me who's just been shooting stills for the Cannonball Bike Run in the back of a souped up BMW d3 (a diesel) around 370bhp and 750 nm yes 750 of torque!!!!!) :twisted:

I assumed that the VW campers would be also expensive to run as theyre old and probably not as many parts available now.

That BMW sounds like fun though, I dont know much about cars but you put the :twisted: thing after its specs so it must be good :P

there are loads of parts for VW campers just make sure you join a club. But they are slow(65 mph), rusty, overpriced(£17,500 for a good split-windscreen one) and they do 20mpg.

I take it 20mpg is bad? I dont know anything about what is a good fuel economy thing etc :lol:

20 mpg is very bad.

shitee in fact!

Tom there are Camper vans you can get that are better than split screens. Extreme example.

The shape called the transporter are good value. 1986 to sometime in the 90's.

My ex has a Bedford Rascal camper. It's so her. :roll:

Ahh right well I dont think I'll be getting one for some time :( One day though!

I did some research apparently my Fiat does about 35mpg... is that good?

Not too bad.

There are some Korean Diesels capable of 50 something mpg. They may even been topped now.
