    Jimbo, if you are hoping for dog tags being additional bling, I am sorry to disappoint you. Think more like wash basin chain with a bit of tin on the end. Not very fetching, even with leather. Clashes terribly I can tell you.

    I have seen it YT and it's mint plus it helps you know the person selling . As there is no way J would sell you a dog or he would have the members of the forum to deal with .:eek:

    i used to have an old 99 transit short wheel base semi high top, it got fitted out with a lino floor , oil and kitty litter from crashes easy to clean up . fitted my old srad and my mates zx7 in no problem along with tool chest . parts a good price and in 4 years of many trackdays and my daily driver it never let me down.

    Might be a Wild Guess Wedgie but I reckon that might well be a pricing error! [​IMG]

    got the same, got to do some modifying to get the bike in there straight ;)..... It does fit diagonal, but thats a pain to load everything. You need to take out the door panel en grind a few bars off the door, nothing major. in the winter I click the panel back in and you can't see a thing :D

    good vans, had little trouble with them. I'v got the 2.5ltr 135hp version, got it tuned to 165, does 200km/hr on the german autobahn fully loaded :D :D

    and definatley not a 05/06.. look at the headlights and the blinkers, thats a newer model, and I'd say the pricing is wrong, probably a 2009/10 model.. lovely van though, cheap as if correct

    No confusion for me I saw the ad on Facebook I didn't click picture or read any blurb I just copy and pasted to here as some people where talking about it yeah it's a 61 plate I didn't notice or I WOULD OF KNEW. If I saw it was a 61 plate I would of knew ad was incorrect and not posted . Wonder it hasn't been amended though isn't it
