They are very cool and we drove one to Norway, via France, The Netherlands, Germany, Denmark and Sweden. That is HOT! Warning though, they're not the fastest. Barely touching 40mph going flat out on the motorway. I tried to pace one on the motorway, just to spend more time checking it out. That was a painful drive, I had to overtake. I think a lottery win for me means a 3.0HDi 160hp Citroen Relay wrapped up in the skin of an H-Van.

I'd absolutely love one. I think they are one of the coolest looking vehicles around and if I ever have enough money to buy a really good one then I shall.
However, I suspect it'd be a case of 'never meet your heroes' as I suspect the reality of ownership wouldn't match what I'd expect and that I'd end up hating it. And that makes me feel a bit sad. So unless I can buy one and keep it somewhere I can just admire it then I'll probably pass.

Mine would cruise all day (noisily) at 50-55mph and would top 60 if you could live with what felt like 8zillion rpm.

I'm still in love. But it looks like their ability to hold value and height may prevent me from buying anything just yet. Which really is a shame Still, I've learnt some more about their inadequacies and still haven't been put off yet..
