Making a Cali Fly........

BerndRos · Apr 22, 2014

Hardly used mine the last two years........180DSG.

Lots of upgrades and fettling this winter and now back in perfect condition.

After being at the Silverstone WEC meeting at the weekend needed to get to Exeter airport ASAP on Sunday night and managed to get from Silverstone to the airport in 2 hours 25 mins although only managed 24 MPG. Pretty frisky drive though and got me back into the swing of how you can shift these vans if needs must.

95% of our Cali driving is rural so plenty of changes of speed needed - the Cali can definitely get quite a pace on when pushed. Definitely not "fast" but it maintains speed well. And it's quicker than 99% of other vans! I quite enjoy hustling ours around - then hearing a pot or cup move in the cupboard as it whizzes around a corner!

A Turkish.......?

Remember the minor roads from Whittlebury to Buckingham.........etc.....all needs making up......

Mind you the other extreme is it took me 3 hours to do 12 miles earlier......up the River Guadiana

Rhyming slang.

"Turkish barf. Larf". As in "you're avin a larf mate" (Cockney accent).

Alternative. You're avin a Stephie. Stephie Grarf.
