Classic Van and Pickup

Postby Anthony » Tue Feb 06, 2007 8:31 pm

Does anyone else think that this months Classic Van and Pickup is completely wrong :?: Best Transit in the world I don't think so. The pickup featured this month is definately shiny but not the best. I think there are definately better vans out there (the GEC van owned by ford) is one example and then there are members who have vans I think are much better than the one featured. Thats my opinion whats yours :?: :lol:

well beeing the tranarack that i am i can nock the gec vaN for a few things that it should have that it hasnt ,the same with the pick up on the clasic mag its a cracker but there are things wrong ,ie the custom badges on the wings for a start! :shock: she is nice but not the best thats for shure!
i think the best chassis cab has to be the one that turned up somewere a few years ago i think it was a minter and everything was were it should be!
i think they did have a photo of it in the mag! :wink:
