White T5 Transporter from ...

[sapto]

I saw this great T5 yesterday on our way from Salzburg in direction to Italy.
I think it was lowered, front and back was great modified!
Someone from here? Have a great trip!

 

[Freeley]

That's one of the most horrible T5's I've ever seen!
Yuk!

Yuk x 2! I bet that ghastly rear bumper causes some drag.

Still it is said that "beauty is in the eye of the beholder".

Looks like he has reversed at speed into a Halfords branch - cool

 

[Rich20]

Who would like to give me odds on whether the towballall is bolted to the bumper?

Clearly an amateur.

Clearly an amateur.

Perhaps McLaren might like an aero package like that. They might be competitive again.

 

[CALI FATE]

Clearly an amateur.

The pop top condo is cool too

 

[Tommy Gun]

Not to everyone's taste perhaps, but it's still someone's pride & joy !!
As long as he's happy.

Hope it's not that chap from the caravan club, if it was the bumper wouldn't last long!!

I think it belong to...

Clearly an amateur.


I wondered where I parked it....

Clearly an amateur.

This thread is making me laugh, a lot

 

[larrylamb]

It would be fine but for the bumper, not sure what they were thinking there.

I'm disappointed reading this. I just don't see the fun in knocking another person's van (the blue one yes - obviously he's got a sense of humour), but the white one why? If I was him/her and reading this thread...?
C'mon gang, this is not doing us any favours whatsoever. Not a good message to send out from Cali owners to any Transporter Conversion owners.
For all we know, this person would love to have a Cali (maybe.) Probably thinks we are a bunch of tossers now.

Jesus, you should have seen my 1991 Ford Orion - I really wanted an Escort RS Turbo, so guess what it looked like...

@sapto - good on you!

 

[hirsty]

I for one would now like to see the Orion please

 

[Tommy Gun]

I'm sorry hirsty, I'd love to show it to you, but this was quite a while ago, i.e. Long before phones had cameras! Damn, I wish I had a picture. I've got a picture of a smashed Escort Cosworth (back in 2002) somewhere at my folks house. That was another story though..
Surpased 'that' RS Turbo in the end!

Whilst I completely agree that it is not right to derive fun by knocking anyones pride and joy, I hope you are not suggesting that we should only be expressing our opinions about others campervans purely in the positive? I take great interest in what others have done with their vans but reserve the right to offer both criticism as well as praise. I also except that not everyone will like our van. Please feel free to offer your critique. I for one will not be offended. We like it but we don't expect everyone else to.
In my opinion, the rear bumper on the white T5 was ghastly and still is.

Borris,

Your comments are fair. Whilst people should always be free to express their opinion, there does come a point when it starts to change from expression to outright ridicule, and if I'm not mistaken, this is where it was heading. This is the way I saw it going. Maybe I am wrong.

@Freeley 's comment was (IMO) excessive. Take away the rear bumper and it's not so bad!

@larrylamb 's comment was reserved & sensible.

Your comment was fair also, & to the point.

Excessive?? Behave will you and stop being so thin skinned.
Maybe next time I want to express an opinion I'll ask you if it's OK first.
I stand by what I said, I think it looks awful.
If you don't like it tough!

Thin-skinned - yeah, maybe a bit! Thought that the van got a bit too much stick in this thread to be honest
