sparquelito Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 ....Happy new Ford Transit van day that is. It was a tough call, but to avoid paying thousands in anticipated repairs for the aging Subaru Baja, I finally went and traded her in. The local Ford dealer (over there in Decatur, Alabama) handled everything wonderfully and admirably, and I am finally driving the vehicle I have coveted for many years now. The Ford Transit Van. The all-purpose music gear hauling rig. An iconic beast, one that I admired while living in Germany in the 1980's and later on in the 1990's. A smooth-riding cargo van with an ultra-modern two-seat cockpit. The Capshaw Road band will now be playing gigs with dry, secure gear, instead of wet, precariously-loaded gear. My beloved Subaru, I will love you forever. And you served us well. I wish for you all the best that life has to offer. But I'm rocking the small white serial killer van now. Life is good.🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Natural Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 I'm not a fan of vans, but you can pull it off if you've got a Mazda MX5 Miata (am I correct?) parked next to the van in the garage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marky Forrest Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 Looks like a Miata to me too. I tried one once but at 6'4" 250 lbs I didn't fit. Great looking van. Congratulations! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twang Gang Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 I saw one of these about 7 years ago on a Ford dealer's lot and asked what it was. The van was assembled in Turkey at that time with an engine put together in Spain. When I asked the salesman about it all he had to say was every one of that they get when they unpack it from shipping they all smelled a little like dog ****. I said "have you ever been to Turkey? The whole country smells like dog ****." Hope you enjoy it and it serves it's purpose well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
