[100ps_drw_hicube]

yep 1 or 2 not many most people just buy a focus estste

[MrMPuk]

Yeah loads about.

[Valsheda]

Yeh there is a few round my way, they look like a greenhouse on wheels

And yes i know i have a fair amount of glass in my van

[woody]

NOTHING WRONG WITH GLASS MARK, THERE IS LESS METAL TO GO RUSTY

That's a good point, though I am sure Niel would disagree with you.

[Valsheda]

Nice one i am sure that Neil will be giving his opinions on this

[woody]

WELL I AM ALL FOR GLASS, YOU GET A MUCH BETTER VIEW, ALL ROUND , I THINK LESS ACCIDENTS WITH GLASS, ESPECIALLY WITH PEOPLE COMING UP THE INSIDE, YOU HAVE GOT MORE CHANCE OF SEEING THEM. HAVE YOU GOT YOUR DRIVERS DOOR AND PASSENGER DOOR GLASS TINTED MARK ONLY I READ SOMEWHERE IT IS AN OFFENCE TO HAVE THEM TINTED NOW, WAS GOING TO HAVE MINE DONE, BUT DECIDED AGAINST IT.

[MrMPuk]

You can tint the front windows but it has to be quite a light tint.

[woody]

SAW A PROGRAMME A FEW WEEKS AGO, WHERE THE POLICE WERE STOPPING PEOPLE WITH TINTED WINDOWS, HOW DO THE POLICE DETERMINE WETHER THEY ARE TOO DARK, ARE THERE ANY GUIDE LINES FOR THIS, ONLY GOT ALL THE REAR ONES IN MINE TINTED, WANTED THE FRONT ONES DONE. HOW DARK CAN THEY BE

[MrMPuk]

They have a light sensor that they put the other side of the window and if you don't pass you get points and a fine!

Westminster City Council have several as recycling patrol vehicles.
They got too much public money, to waste it on vans.
(No I don't know what Recycling patrol vehicles actually do !)

Yep, I have to say the window in the side door makes a massive difference.
It's especially noticable when turning right into a main road from a side road that joins at aan angle, if you know what I mean!
It's easier in the Transit than it was in my old Courier.
