As long as they've sorted the handling out... I had an estate for a week, and that was very very tail happy..

The thing that bugs me with the MK3 is that
1. They look 'old' and the design doesn't age well
2. The panel gaps/fitment always looks bad, and this totally ruins it for me..

Granted some of those look clean...

No, that was me, asking for opinions on the first pictured van!

It took you this long to figure it out?

Just messing Phil

Nicely modded Astra Van's do have a certain appeal. They're different and some of them can look fantastic!

One of the craziest cars I've ever driven was an Escort RS Turbo van.

Definitely cool in a quirky kind of way. Aesthetically I'm not so sure but I've seen some which were very nicely done

they just look right with the rs kit for some reason

talking of rs's, i once almost bought a mk3 escort cab, white, with full S1 RS kit and stripe. looked fantastic

Just looks like the sort of thing you've expect an 18 year old Max Power reading apprentice bricky to drive.

LMAO!

My Mondeo estate has a sub. I'm not a bricky though, lol.

The estate is just a bit wobbly at the back, other than that drives the same as the Mondeo hatch.

Nope, they're not doing much for me.

I tried I really did. But no, just no.

paradigm · 13 Jun 2006 at 10:21

Most definately no, they look ****.

Slightly OT: Phil, was it you I was behind near Trentham Gardens last night (around 5pm) :confused:

Some reasonably quick breadvans there

At least one 20XE and a V6

For some odd reason i always prefered the MKII vans over the MKIII ones.
