Oh, and saw one of these today.

*RIGHT CLICK -> VIEW IMAGE*
Yes please.
Although, it'd be a toughy between that and the really fast VW Clarkson drove in the van test feature.

Theres no option for drove one but not owned it! 
This poll sucks ass!
Ive drove 2 I can think of, one was an arnold clark hire van for delivering a sofa & other was a flat back for delivering fencing supplies - it was most amazing, 400k on the clock, gear box was shagged, door would swing open on its own & speedo never worked among other 'issues' ive neglected to remember. What a heap!

Drive these in work

The delay on the auto box is shocking, although ive got a nack to it now, left foot on the brake rev it and release the brake and it shoots off, other wise it does nothing for a split second while pulling out of junctions. Which can be scarey. They are forever broke.

My dad has got an 05 one and an 08 plate on order, six week waiting list for them so that must say something about them, but he got lucky if you want one with your spec then its more like 16 week waiting list.
Driven my bosses aswell, 150k 2001 pickup, slow as shit but I like driving them.
Our suppliers have got a V reg one that gets mega abuse and stupidly over loaded and runs perfect, they also have a sprinter pickup which has the same abuse and it is a complete wreck. 
All have been reliable except my dads which shattered a diff, but replaced under warranty.

I helped my mate move house using a transit. He drove it when it was full, and I drove it when it was unloaded. It was a riot! They are so comfortable to drive too, proper arm chair seat.

It was quality. They are so easy to drive too, they like cruising at round 80mph no problem. I had to drive from Warminster to Milton Keynes, which was a couple of hours but it wasn't a bad drive at all. Actually enjoyed it.
