Some nice vehicles which aren't Javelins! (well ok, they're all vans at the moment)...


1993 Dodge Ram 250 Dayvan This high-top conversion van by "Quality Editions" (?) is powered by the old faithful 318ci (5.2 litre) Chrysler V8 petrol engine, in this case with multi-port electronic fuel injection and a 3-speed automatic gearbox with overdrive, giving around 15-16 mpg overall. Air conditioned with 4 captain's chairs and a rear bench seat which folds down into a bed, the interior is padded velour and carpeted, which gives a quiet, luxurious ride, sitting high above most other vehicles. While it's not a speed machine, it's surprisingly quick considering it weighs nearly 3 tons, and surprises quite a few would-be overtakers away from the traffic lights! Definitely a fun vehicle!
A-Team info Here in England, Dayvans are fairly rare and we turn a few heads when driving around in ours, though this is probably because it's black too. A-Team Van info The most common comments are to do with the A-Team. People start to hum or whistle the theme tune, or call me BA (or something like that!). This is despite the A-Team van being a GMC and ours a Dodge - they look the same to the average Englishman!
Coming up a close second is people think it's a hearse. The purple curtains and interior don't help! I do some voluntary work for the RNIB and scare the life out of some people I visit when I park outside - they think I've come to get them I suppose! zoom in Failing either of these, people usually say something like "What the hell is THAT?!". Even a camp site warden told us she'd never seen anything like it, ever, and she'd seen a lot of different camper vans etc. over the years!
