I have a fleet of vans-27 Fords and one Sprinter w/ 265k on it. We normally turn them over @ 160, but we're pushing the Sprinter to the last mile. Been very reliable. Can't get a Dodge any more, only M-B or Freightliner. There was a guy on the web a few years ago who customized one for sailboarding. May still be on there. I like the VW solution because I'd love a GTI. Do you remove the seatpost? RGZ Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry

Take a look at the Ford Transit connect. My buddy has one and we get two decent sized bikes in there. I can get my 63cm bikes into the VW Golf, but that is with one rear seat removed and the other folded down. Even with that the seat is like 1/8" from the headliner and people cringe when I shut the back hatch. http://www.flickr.com/photos/rperks1/5254096133/in/set-72157625583483616/ Smaller than the TC above and you a likely looking at seat removal, other than that you are in van territory. I dream of a Dodge Sprinter. Rob On Jan 13, 3:02 pm, robert zeidler <zeidler.rob...@gmail.com> wrote: > Here's why I ask?
