Looks amazing all the work that’s gone into it is unreal. Personally I felt a bit disappointed when I got a glimpse of the heater controls they look so 80’s and can’t believe all the skill you guys have but still got that shitty looking heater control. Would be nice to see a modern looking one in There, like the one in the caravelles surely you guys could make that happen with your capabilities and skill set, love and peace it’s only my opinion

Love the van and the progress! We are planning to come back to the UK and visit family in Southern England and then head up to Scotland as well…possibly get over to Wales for some Dirt Biking with Stan but renting a VW Van again! I so wish we could get these vans in Canada but the T4 was the last one available! I am looking into Importing a T5 so ya never know! I meant to say as well, love the music at the front end of the video.

Hated it initially, but look at it in 2025. Theres is no alternative for a van being petrol or petrol-plug-in hybrid with reverse second row, flat rails, massive specs and etc. this is not a choice for most, but the absence of it. I own one and love it. One thing i can’t get used is the noise it makes on any crack on a road. Soft but noisy.

Coming from diesel PSA van and there was a catch, you obviously need to make many miles for the thing to work as it’s intended to do. Living in city centre and doing occasional long trips, it never worked for me. Blocked filters and faulty adblue stuff. Just got enough of it and decided to switch to simple petrol. There was no choice, either electric EQV sh1t or this baby.
