sounds good mike, looking forward to the pictures. Finally you'll get a van with some alloys :wink: but we will need to remove you from the GLX posse :lol:

Yeah I hope I don't regret the alloys, but they have sensible profile tyres on so they should stay nice. We'll have to see if there are enough Limited drivers to have a new posse :D

A very good point.

As has been said I could have had a sportvan for a little less than the one I'm getting, but why would I want one? :?

sell the alloys and skirts and you got the same van for less
dont think any sensable person would give more money for less van ?

So buy a new van, strip off the parts, buy some wheels, then have a nightmare when I come to sell/PX it? You've not really thought it through have you. Dealers have sportvans sitting as they're not made to order, they don't have what I want sitting as it's a factory build, simple.

Why can't people understand that not everyone likes the sportvans :?

LOL, I'm having tyres that last for over a year for a start. A van that looks smart but not trashy (IMO of course). Just look at all the moaning that the sportvanners have done here and you'll see a whole load of reasons not to buy one.
