Guy Martin
Is at it again, building the fastest Transit van to break the van record at Nurburgring C4 @ 9 o'clock tonight
Wonder if the previous record is held by Sabine Schmidt |

I think he then goes on to take it to the USA to run in an event where they have to average 150mph? over x miles and it is the closest one to the "correct" time that wins.
van makes it the distance macafee2 |

He commented that the van was in Scotland, I’m so annoyed with myself as that van was only 50 miles away at Alford Motor Museum and I missed it

Thoroughly enjoyed the program.
I remember the Supervans based on the Transit, there was one with a 3iitre V8 Cosworth DFV slung in the back. Oh! How wanted that van.
