Here's a more realistic sounding period van, sounds like a weird concept one. Bodyshell: Toyota Townace with Skylite Roof - www.din.or.jp/~ymko/photo-in/townace196.jpgEngine: Slightly detuned Toyota Supra MA70 3.0 Turbo Gearbox: 4 Speed Automatic 4WD Rear Axle: Townace standard Front brakes: MA70 Supra brakes Rear brakes: Standard Townace Interior: Standard but black with cheesy graph paper style door card fabric, dark orange lines on black background Seats: Standard but black with dark orange accents around a few areas Extra Gauges: Modified Celica Supra digital dashboard with no rev counter - the rev counter is instead projected onto the windscreen as a cheesy bar! Exterior detailing: Twotone black top, dark grey lower (only colour available), TURBO 4WD badge above passenger side headlamp, huge 5 inch tall TURBO 4WD down each side with TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION below it in small font and another TURBO 4WD on the back! Slightly tinted glass. Foglights in bumper. Very small roof spoiler. Big silver aerial centred in middle near front. Wheels: Celica Supra wheels - www.yellowsun.plus.com/garage/rust01.jpgAnything else: Really cheesy over the top 80's electrical luxuries, 5" CRT TV in middle of dash with really basic vector graphics satellite navigation and ability to play Betamax tapes and watch TV, tape deck with huge flashy graphs and equalisers. Power-sapping fridge capable of holding 2 cans of pop max. High pitched dualtone horn.

I love the idea of new-wave VAG engines in older Dubs, but the V10TDi and W12 are just mad.

Bodyshell : mk1 polo Engine : 1400 16v AFH Engine Gearbox : Polo G40 Rear axle : standard Front brakes : Polo G40 Drilled discs Rear brakes : standard Interior : spartan to say the least! Seats : you'll be lucky! Extra gauges : Oil Press + Temp Exterior detailing : Mars red, with dodgy '80s influences Wheels : wide 13s Anything else : Ive said too much!!!

Many years ago I changed my driving style to cope with rising fuel prices; I have now reached the stage where I am contemplating keeping my eyes shut in order to lower wind resistance.
