New Van........at last

[festool-D5VEO]

Finally treated my self to a new van. It's a bit smaller than the last but I was carrying far to much so it will do me good to have a spring clean!!!
Any way here she is! I've started the racking, I can post pictures if anyone is interested?

Thanks for looking

You can't hint at van racking progress and not put up pictures... That's practically against all rules of common courtesy

That's a lovely van. I'm jealous there's no point hiding it!

I've often thought it'd be funny to see the West Coast Customs guys do a "rack my van" episode of Pimp My Ride. Festool USA would get a lot of miles out of sponsoring something like that ... I can already see the fold out MFT's [eek] [big grin]

... take a struggling carpenter's crappy big old van ...

Oh right lol

Friend of mine just bought one of those special edition white sportlines. Cost £35 ,000 ouch could have bought 2 of mine for that.

Someone told me that the transporters all have the same basic engine and even a bog standard one can be chipped to 150 HP.......

I may be wrong

 

[joiner1970]

Yeah they can be chipped , I wonder if it knackers your engine though

 

[GarryMartin]

Doesn't do good things to your insurance costs either if you declare it. And if you don't and you have an accident/claim and it's discovered...  [crying]

You are absolutely right! There are 4 engine outputs 88hp, 102, 140 & 180 The 88,102 & 140 have identical engines but the 180 is twin turbo! The main difference is the gear box all 4 models are different! If you get it chiped you automatically void your warranty....  [mad]
