The daughter in law is interested in a VW Transporter (modern Kombi) as a family wagon. They can be AWD, turbo diesel and auto with lots of hard wearing seats to withstand their boys club, and not so bad to park, so it could be a good choice.

Just to follow up my Kombi picture, I'm told it's valued at $70k. Can't see it myself, but each to their own, I suppose.

Windows equals dollars. A good one would fetch $120000.

Enjoyed a couple of good coffees with Hodgo and his mate at Simply Beanz today. Good chat about many things, some LR related. Nice.
