Thumbs up 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

I was wondering the precise same thing when I read the first line of your post. Great minds and all that!

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

Cool

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.
