I'm a bit dubious of their guess of about 18 seconds 0-60 for the Beford Rascal (or Carry or whatever).

I used to drive one at a garage I worked at.
More like about 13 seconds!

Scared a few cars in it. ;D

Seriously, one of the most fun vehicles I've ever driven, and that ranges from Unimogs to Ferraris.

Squeaky.

The VW was built for you, 120mph to next job, nearly as quick as you cleaning.  :o

I watched it and I was very disapointed.

They just did a mickey take of anybody who drives a van.

I thought Clarkson might have taken it a bit more serious. Come on his head is that big he should of had a field day with all the fresh air around his bold patch.

Twice as many vans sold in a year compared to the best selling car. Come on they can do better then that.

Their problem lies in that think everyone wants to drive a car like a sports car driver  round the busy streets. hey are out of touch with the common driver.

I thought it was a good take on van drivers.
Shame they didn't blow them up like caravans. ;D
