For vans particularly they are vehicles to ferry people and loads. They are not built for comfort... companies buy them with price and servicing cost/intervals in mind. They are not bothered if the driver gets hot in the summer.

Really don't understand how cars/vans can still roll off the factory floor without AC
Unfortunately most fleet van buyers want the cheapest vehicle possible as more often than not they aren't the ones actually driving them.

Yep
Main point was cars though know someone who was considering buying a Fiat 500 and it doesn't even come with AC as standard, is mad.

Jag's looking good Geekman. I keep meaning to test drive a Jag to see how it compares to my E39 in terms of handling and ride comfort.
I may have to read up on this machine polishing malarkey but TBH I'm not convinced a machine polish is worth the outlay, time and effort given that my car is silver.

Thanks 
They give a ridiculously smooth ride on the stock 18s with balloon tyres, but my 20s with low profiles do make it a bit less soft than you'd expect.
I don't think I'd bother with a machine polisher on a silver car unless the paint was very bad - the swirls don't show up anywhere near as easily as on a black car.

A week in now of ownership.. thought i'd share a few photos of my new car
Just over 300 miles on the clock now after a week.. hasn't actually come out of sport mode yet lol. The noise this thing makes is hillarious and i'm not even hooning it over 4k.

Geekman, the brakes look tiny
Does not look 150k!
If you think the front brakes look tiny, you should see the rears! To be fair they do a decent job of stopping the car, although the upgraded brakes on the XJR are a lot better, as they should be with nearly double the power of mine.

best colour for an Audi in my eyes, the lines of the car are really accentuated
Never seen an S2000 in that colour before either...LOVE IT!

wow, an s2000 without an s2000 related private plate?!
Haha, I can't be bothered with private plates as they're a faff when you change cars, and I change cars very often!
