Back some years ago i went in Austria at Worthesse show and there i saw a really cool customized van.. idea was of 2 nut-heads that got a VR6 motor in a Caravelle / Multivan and inside fully custom with only 6 comfortable seats, behind driver a 32 inch plasma tv/ satnav it was phenomenal but was mostly for autobahn & high ways not for off-road ..

It would've been part of the deal, there's no way they paid £110k. They did a similar thing for Matt Jones Red Bull MTB rider.

[@lukasadamson6091]

Thats probably why it was only 110k. But in all honesty: what you want to do is buy a regular VW van, customize all the practical bits and bobs like beds, tables and drawers (so easy to diy) and then let a shop upgrade the upholstery (if you need that). The airride definitely is a huge show and nothing else but most probably the most expensive kit here.

Isn’t that the point of the channel?

[@BlatantBurnerAccount]

Just like Autoalex is doing just now. They need to hide the BMW shill money somehow so they do it with VAG company on Tax relief. MCN and several bike magazines from the past got caught doing this same thing in 2010ish with the launch of s1000rr. They got freedom of information acted by magazine buyers and got found out for hiding BMW shill money😂 Utterly ridiculous they must be on a 3yr and close the LTD company tactics. Likely the owners taking all the money out the channel on Dividends and will sink the entire ship once HMRC start looking into UK youtubers. Autoalex doing a good job of speeding that process up with their highly suspicious shill activity right now.

Don't get me wrong, it's a great van, but for the price I expected it wouldn't be necessary to assemble the tables and the cover with so many separate parts, the bed is also simply a disgrace. For the price there should also be customization of the engine giving more power and perhaps an additional fuel tank for more autonomy.

7:30 Why have manual doors? You can open it with the press of a button on the keys, or just use the handles correctly. Plus, if you really want to have them manual, just press the shaped plastic buttons down on the doors and it converts them to manual. Electric opening doors are awesome, so I can’t disagree with their statement enough. Nice van though, especially with the air suspension, as they are quite rigid to drive.
