Large family hauler anyone?
Forget about Ford Expeditions and Excursions. If you need a big family hauler, THIS is what you need

Think of how many people could be impressed at one time riding in this one?

I'd love it but then SWMBO would prolly want me to ride our nasty Foster boys in it and the seats would be ruined shortly.....

two comments:
1. the first pic does not appear to be the same vehicle as the rest. 2. re the excursion, does anybody offer a cummins conversion kit for them?

Tom, you're right. Not the same vehicle in all those pictures. The main picture is a picture of a van which has been on Ebay before. I think it may have been the one being sold by a vineyard out west somewhere. I suspect some deception is at work in that auction, particularly think it has two big shipping links featured prominently.

Foster Boys
Quote:
I just only carry them in SWMBO's previously pristine Toyletta Corroded sedan ~ now it's a piece of junk and they're starting in on her 240D..... I know I was an ([I]extremely) unruly kid once but I don't recall ever beating up on vehicles ,maybe it was because I always enjoyed riding or maybe it was because I've been a GearHead since birth.... Wait'll her Euro TD gets done ~ then the problems will begin .
