Was thinking about the car options and wanted to throw a wildcard option in - VW transporter with seats and tons of storage. I do huge mileage consulting but still quite fancy the idea. Thoughts from the experts ?
Some versions of the Transporter are really luxurious, with captain's chairs that can be configured in many ways. Not the minibus version, but the type they use for luxury VIP transport from airport to hotel type of thing. My cowman's son's wife has one. She is very sporty and into surfing and skiing and she also uses it to commute to work as an NHS physiotherapist.
As it happens I was on a short 'YFC Oldies' weekend at Malvern last year and it happened to coincide with their annual VW Busfest. I've never seen anything like it! Thousands [over 8000] of VW Transporters. Only VW Transporters. Thousands inside the show and thousands more in the car parks. They have an amazing multinational cult following of which I was previously unaware as to its extent and enthusiasm.

I can't say that I'm into VW Transporters to that extent, but it was a real eye-opener.
