I'm on a facebook group called Vee Dub Family, It's the best forum / group anywhere by a country mile, No bickering between the T4 and T'5's, or Earlybays or Lates or any other mark that's why it's called Vee Dub Family, I have had an Early and a Late, My Early looked loads better than my Late but my Late was more reliable, We have also got a mint Beetle, Who cares what you get as long as you like it
i don't think anyone really "cares" on here to be fair, they certainly don't really get the hump about me or you or others having a T4/5 etc, they just like to remind us it's a late bay site. the fact is (and i don't care who believes it or not) the t4/5 is far superior to the bay, full stop. i've lifted the bonnet twice in 6 months - both times 'cos the washers ran out - 12,500 miles between oil changes turn the key and go - it's the future.
I agree @Merlin Cat very costly & you have definitely got the right engine in the T4 for sure & @Woodster If I'm not in that group on FB already I shall search it out because the few groups I am a member of proper slag each other off & that really gets my goat, I get & enjoy the banter on here with plenty of leg pullers its fun but elsewhere they are proper nasty! So here's my reasoning, I wanted a new car as our family car and for work (Mrs Robo has a mini) other than company cars I've never had a new or nearly new car, nothing fancy but a new car all the same isn't cheap, it would also need to be a family car big enough to take 5 on day trips & holidays with luggage to caravan park or similar with an 80 year old coming along as he's no longer up for camping & stopped when he was 74 plus I'd probably end up suffocating him in such close confinement! So that's when you get to thinking how about a vehicle that does the above & more ! Something that we (The Robo's) could also use to go camping be it a week or just nip to the coast for the weekend & have a cheapo one nighter on a site or locate a freebie stop over place! We have it all planned
P.S. Sorry @Jack Tatty for hijacking your thread, but I was too scared to start my own 'I'm buying a T5 thread'
