How to learn to appreciate your car more - top tip

Drive 1100+ miles in 4 days in a Ford Transit.

The Audi feels soooooooo nice afterwards. Feels seriously quick too with its 152bhp vs. the van's god-knows-how little. Did they ever make a last gen LWB Hi-top transit without a turbo or was this one just broken?

What fool ever said vans were fun to drive?

I couldn't hear or feel any sign of one. This was a previous gen (the one which has just been replaced) with I'd assume a 2.5TD?

Granted I never actually opened the bonnet to check .

When people talked about the difference between older diesels and the new common rail variety I didn't think it would be that profound but this thing was horrible.

I did however manage 85mph indicated, unladen, after 2 miles downhill with my foot nailed to the floor.

My mates dads city link van feels fast and fun...turbo is bloody loud in it aswell! Sounds like a chaved up scooby most of the time...

Errr... more info please. I want to try one of these vans which sound like scoobys.

Mine sounded like a horse being violated by a much larger horse.
