the ultimate in vehicles.You can fit heaps of crap in them.Sleep in them.etc (they all rust away in the end) Join the club.

niiiiiice. Thats two members. Once we get enough people we'll call it a religion and get some tax relief happening !!!

But what shall we call the religion? Vanology? Vanism? Vanlam? Vanafarian? other suggestions welcome.

Just remembered, there's a van that lives down the road from me with a big sticker across the back window that says "no van is an island". love it.

Please issue my membership card

While your at it, one for ducati and one for Greg

Personally (I have never owned a van), i dont like them. They are harder to see past than 4wds. They are slow, they all look exactly the same, they look unstable, sitting backwards sucks, and they look unsafe (limited crumple zone at the front).
Who wants to join my club[}:)]

I do think they are practical for carrying stuff around, or lots of people. I didnt say they werent good, i just dont like them. Like I hate hummers, im sure they are fine, but i think they are for *insert inappropriate word*
I would however have a 4wd van. perfect for exploring a few little offraod things.
ps, i have a white car, can i join the club?

Change my mind by proving me wrong.

First mistake, how can you possibly pass comment on van ownership?

They are harder to see past than 4wds.

Hardly a problem if you happen to be the driver of the van

They are slow

If I'm not mistaken, even WA roads have speed limits. My 20 year old 2.4L Diesel van with 322,000kms on the clock can still do the speed limit loaded with guys and gear, no tickets no worries.

they all look exactly the same

Yes, the same way as all yellow hatchbacks look the same,
and all green utes look the same,
and all blue sedans looks the same
and all red convertables look the same....

they look unstable

Having previously rolled a 4x4, I would still prefer to drive a van.

sitting backwards sucks

So don't travel on trains

and they look unsafe (limited crumple zone at the front).

Don't crash

Who wants to join my club[}:)]

Is that the 'I have never owned a van but I hate them club'
or the 'All vans suck and are unstable but I would like a 4x4 L300 Club'?

I do think they are practical for carrying stuff around, or lots of people.

The first intelligent thing you've said.

I didnt say they werent good, i just dont like them.

Ahh, like brocolli?

Like I hate hummers, im sure they are fine, but i think they are for *insert inappropriate word*

I like hummers, isn't that where the lady goes hmmmmmmmm while .......

I would however have a 4wd van. perfect for exploring a few little offraod things.

Nice, slower and more top heavy than a regular van, which you don't like

ps, i have a white car, can i join the club?

No, as I previously mentioned all white cars look the same.

Change my mind by proving me wrong.

You can make luuurve in a van, with twins.
(I have never done this but it would be possible I'm sure)

My beloved beddie......had to go.....

thats what im talking about, you can not beat a great van with no air con.

Bedford van, retrofitted with 307 Chev V8, 20 inch rims, 265 rubber

Now were talking

thats why we love them... i just got rid of a 1994 hilux dual cab, 2.8 diesel. best bloody wheels i ever owned. it hated any sort of hills in anything higher than 3rd gear, and completely un economical at 110kph (which was flat out), but christ, the bloody thing went anywhere, you could sit upright underneath it whislt doing the servicing etc, you could put 2 tonnes of wood in the back, and it had quarter lights. cars just dont have those sorts of features any more.
