He uses it for commuting and taking his trials bikes places. He did have a hot hatch for work and a Transit Connect for play but he crashed the car and never went back. Vans can be handy, but their lack of seating can make them a bit impractical. -- Douglas

It's cool. See, YKIMS. Anyway, it's a lifestyle vehicle donchaknow. Swivel the front chairs around to the back. Fold the centre seat into picnic table mode. And you're good to go. It's like a Bongobus only in FWD form. It's a Zilbus.

Family Payne was there a few years ago with a 1987 Espace. -- Douglas |
