I mean, WhiteNoise is in there. Short driveway in, too.
and my 3rd vehicle from them over the years (Accord LX Hatchback and a four door Civic). So many cars, I'm losing track. Oh well.
I'm from the muscle car era, best of the best machines! Anyway........
Dual exhaust, posi traction, hurst shift, four barrel carb, massive big block V8, thrush exhaust, hi jackers, Mickey Thompson's, mag wheels...... 
We have one (12 Transit) at work as a parts delivery vehicle.WhiteNoise wrote:Thanks for that George. So I'm going to guess that the Transit drinks just a bit less than my present truck. I'm not really bothered by its' fuel consumption. It's a great truck Honda is
So now this Ford Transit Connect has been haunting me. Good to very good acceleration is what I'd like from it. No more burning rubber at every traffic light (Ha!) okay, so once in awhile I'll still punch it! Hey, it never leaves ya altogether....geez
I'm really hoping to hear from anyone that has experience with a Transit. Or perhaps what they have heard about them? Likes and dislikes. Actually any info.
Dreamland again: (
No huh? Okay, lost in the 60's, sorry.
Maybe I should forget about the transit? Is it a Nightmare?
(If Anyone else can help, feel free to jump in. More info the better!)
A steep incline would be rough (with my messed up back). Thanks 
Perfect bike hauler. Probably fit two in there if you are a resourseful chap.WhiteNoise wrote:Thanks for that CT! Glad you're familiar with it. Now that brings me to more questions, I hope you don't mind
Since you see one often...
1) do you think a PCX could fit inside with room to spare? For "my body" too, while getting it in? I am of average body weight and about 5'5"
I realize the only seating would be up front (no rears)...This would be called the Van style, correct?
2) Are you able to guess how high the rear platform is from level ground? (I have a 6' straight ramp (not the better arched one), and was wondering how mine would work
Wow, you must be getting up there in years to remember those cars.GeezyRider wrote:Looks like an old AMC Javelin.
My stepfather had one and I thought it was the coolest looking car at the time. I looked at buying a used one in the late 70's but when I went to test drive it, it would go in reverse. When the salesman said, "That's strange, it was there this morning," I decided to take a pass.

Are you kidding? When I learned to drive, cars had STEEL dashboards and radios and heaters were options.kramnala58 wrote:Wow, you must be getting up there in years to remember those cars.

And airbags were the flap of skin hanging from your grandmother's arm when she reached out to hold you back when grandpa slowed down suddenly so that you didn't hit your head on the steel dashboard as you fell to the floor under the dash.you you wrote:No seat belts and vacuum operated wipers for meGeezyRider wrote:Are you kidding?

) I bought it new off the dealers lot. Beefed it up and drag raced my friends. Family would not ride in that car. Thrush exhaust too loud, 8 track music too loud, and the high jackers were firm & kept high. Sadly I ended up trading it in for a '71 VW Superbeetle. (I had put money down on a Chevelle SS but Dad made me get it back ) For months I tried locating an alternator for the Javelin. The battery was always dead, I had to get to work. Dad always jumping it and getting angry about it. No dealer or auto shop or junkyard had one. Heartbreaker! I still miss that car End of story. ...and we didn't even get under the hood! Ah well, whatever. Shite can't be done about it. What do you UK guys say? Bloody Hell! (same body as the dream car above)
