When I had my Delica I had to get some advice and ended up on a Delica owners forum. Man there was full on beef between Delica and Bongo owners šŸ˜‚. The Bongo was given a US release and they had to change the daft name. It ended up becoming the Ford Freda. ---

All this talk of vans got me hyped to buy one, always dreamed of it but I canā€™t justify it. Mrs loves camping though, so I took her to the pub and managed to convince her to let me upgrade the xc40 to a 60 so we can fit a bed in the back with the seats flat, and an awning from the roof bars. Maybe one of these badboys, have a feeling that inflatable isnā€™t the best idea though. ![image](https://uksf-media.lon1.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/original/2X/a/ae83854268f77ecab3d18e9c256a87fd8ab3e518.jpeg) ---

Why not get a van instead of a 4x4? ---

Weā€™ve had an inflatable tent for a few years now and itā€™s been fucking brilliant. Family size and it takes me ten miutes to fully pitch with no help, rock solid in winds. Wouldnā€™t go back to weaving those fucking bendy poles about. When I get an awning for the van itā€™ll definitely be inflatable. ---

Mostly because Iā€™ve become a full on Volvo fanboy since these new lines came out. But also because we both just like cars, Iā€™d be stoked with a van but can see why sheā€™d prefer a nice comfy SUV as a daily. Especially if I drop her off somewhere, bit funny getting all dolled up then dropped off in a converted panel van haha ---

About to be that guy but itā€™s not a clubman. Clubmans had the square front and didnā€™t come out until the 70s in a saloon and estate version. BMW actually own a wild goose mini. A friend of mine has a shop called Craftevan and she tows a mini Glen caravan behind her mini van to shows etc. The caravan was designed to be towed behind a mini ---

I knew there was a Mini guy on here, just couldnā€™t remember who. I didnā€™t know what to call it. I guess itā€™s probably a Countryman (?). I thought it was a Clubman because my mate had what I think was a Clubman estate in the late 80ā€™s which was like the Mini version of the Morris Traveller. You know, with the wooden trim. ---
