Speak for yourself. :D

Mine sometimes has to cover deeply rutted forestry tracks with embedded boulders in the centre. Despite driving it ever so carefully, the last trip snapped the exhaust (was OE so rusty mind) and the previous one dented the sump a wee bit. :oops: :roll:

I'm not sure about these at all. They look like urban speed bumps might be too much of a challenge. :mrgreen:

Vans are designed for people with imagination. Cars are so limiting ... what can you do with them?

I think they look fantastic!

A slammed connect on mk1 rs, mk2 rs or bbs wheels are stunning.

There a slightly harder ride but not that bad and mine doesn't really go off a main road.

Personally I quite like to see them lowered as they sit very high. This is intended but if you dont carry the weight then I think they look a little silly and the wheels look very small. Some do drop very low and really do struggle with speed bumps but it is personal choice and although I've dropped mine I did so still look ok with weight in the back.

I've got those Gecko tyres on..... Vertical roads are no problem :lol:

In all seriousness though I'd love to lower mine and get it looking really smart, pretty much in the same styling as yours Graham. But alas, she's an out and out work horse (a well treated one at that).

With that sort of weight I agree lowering would be stupid gt as you say yours is a workhorse.
