Money no object

Postby Andrew-v4 » Fri Feb 17, 2006 3:55 pm

If money was no object what would you do to a/your transit :?:
All i would do is get a low roof smiley fit it with a set of alloys with clear
lights all round and paint it metalic black. Oh and fit a supercharged 4.6 mustang v8 with an auto for cruising :D

I'd do as fred suggested and put my Scorpio's heated seats, 6 CD changer, electric mirrors which tilt down when you reverse, sunroof & full leather interior into mine. Probably could do it if I wasn't so lazy.

My plan would involve a lot of land, and every last surviving Mk2 on the market...... Then take a staff of welders and body repairers, and somebody to sit on ebay 24/7 to get all of the tranny bits....

Build the fastest well sorted swb smiley money could buy and sit up the bum of those BMW and sprinter driver's that think there quick.Then race it round the Nuburgh ring-see what it could do and use it to tow my 1600e or mk1 Fiesta rally car.
At the mo. i'll have to do with my 76ps di-oh well it ALWAYS starts and still tow my cars.
