wanted van for gear and sleep
Hi,
I have seen plenty of vans decked out for sailing and sleeping. I am looking at having a crack at one. Thinking second hand diesel empty shell? Any hints on brands to avoid or pitfalls to avoid?
Cheers all.

Short SUV vs hatchback
Narrowed it down to two cars. VW Golf and Tiguan. I know, I know get the VZ Commie wagon and be happy. But I want the new car smell for the first time in my life, and VW are having a fire sale (they need something to quell their recent PR disasters).
Tiguan: 168 cm high, a bit short for an SUV. I measured 250 cm to the dashboard with the front seat down.
Golf: 149 cm high. I measured only 2.30 cm to the dashboard with the seat down and I don't think I could remove the headrest. Bummer.
The Golf is newer, cheaper and drives better. But it's a small car at the end of the day. Are roof racks really such a pain? Does vehicle height make a big difference? Is it safe to drive with the board flung over the front seat and equipment inside the car in general?
P.S.
Wagons are a dying breed.

Poll - Ultimate Date Car under 100k!!!
All-righty. You've asked out the woman, man, sock puppet of your dreams and they have accepted. You're going on a drive through spectacular country side on winding mountain roads (think the San Bernadino Pass), to an exclusive restaurant for a classy meal.
You have your choice of any car in the world under 100K. What do you pick that you will enjoy on those winding roads but she will be impressed by. Hint; she won't like a hard riding noisy Nissan Sylvia with aftermarket turbo.
Post pics of your choice if you can.
