Matt Strange Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 For some of us, 4 wheels are a unfortunately necessity! .So what sort of 4 wheeled rides do TMBF members own & are they Better or worse than your 2 wheeled variety?! .My 'four wheels' are currently much nicer than the two unfortuantely - work dictates so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 NO BIKE!!!?? What's that all about then?I drive my mum's 1999 peugeot 306, very (not) sporty 1.4 petrol complete with 145,000 miles on the clock and a dent in the bonnet from where my brother kissed another cars bumper last week Needless to say I prefer the bike...quite a bit more! Although the car will come in handy for keeping my hair nice for tomorrow's job interview :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to tow out a friend in his 2008 freelander, back in the snowy bit earlier this year! Mine's the one on the right...

Matt Strange Posted May 4, 2009 Author Share Posted May 4, 2009 Matt that's one hell of a meaty looking piece of kit! I bet it's great for taking the kids to school in too No kids for me!. It's a very torquey beast, but not quite as pokey as the 4.0L petrol 'left hooker' our business had on import!.Size wise it's no longer than your typical estate car, it just looks bigger 'cos of the wheel arches & the 20 inch rims.I usually get called Tim Westwood for owning this....

Funnily enough my Dodge has this exact same engine as the Transporter, but bored out to a 2.8.#edit to say that's one nice caravelle! # Edited May 4, 2009 by Matt Strange Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cleedubber Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 Yeah my mate had one, and got it chipped, was crazy fast for a vanQuite a few of my mates have T4's, and have done engine mods (up to 190BHP) ....dont see the point myself,mine kicks out 104 bhp, more than enough for me, and its still a van after all.Although as you said it is fun watching the faces of said saxo drivers when they're left behind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Strange Posted May 4, 2009 Author Share Posted May 4, 2009 I had the factory fitted power upgrade, from approx 175hp to around 205 & the torque increase is even better. Not bad for a £300 option, certainly more bhp per £ than a power commander .Better still when it came for free! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
