any other window with COOL cars instead of boring van that cost alot of money

I used to use:

Mk2 Golf GTi .

2.1 bore-out.
Various inlet and outlet mods.
Mental Golf.

Orion Ghia i.

Tuned at Motorsport Engineering.
Ram-air induction kit.
Grey injectors.
Full £600 Magnex 4-branch stainless manifold and exhaust.
Lowered 60mm. (Which meant I couldn't get into a lot of people's drives!)
Would outrun an Escort RS Turbo though.

Nissan Bluebird Executive Turbo.

Standard, but fast.

Fiesta XR2.

Intake and exhaust mods.
Great fun.

Now I drive a diesel van.

You are a big head David Norris @ St. Ives the Mancuninan Cornish Piskie!

Audi RS4 - estate with plenty of room in the boot for tools.

I seen a plumber lately driving a very cool Jaguar XJS - 6.0 V12 - very nice example, not worth a lot I'd say but very cool non-the-less.  The 10mpg isn't a nice thought though.

thanks, thats what I drive, goes like a missile but I don't use it for window cleaning.
