I've driven one of the smaller Sprinters. As in, SWB low-top as opposed to that LWB high-top. Six-speed gearbox! YUM!

The right way,
The wrong way
And my way, which is like the wrong way but faster.

We took this beast to Morzine in the French alps mountain bikeing and its booked again for this year.

9 of us with all mountain bikes and bags in rear compartment.

Fortunatly I got the UK part of the drive as I had lost my licence and didnt fancy the hassle of getting stopped in France without it.

DVD player, forward and rear facing 15" flat screens, CD Stereo, Tinted windows, Table· 6 cubic meters of equipment storage behind fixed bulkhead, Independent heating in passenger compartment.

Wow, that's well equipped. I've had a ride in an old american Chevy day van. Same idea as the A-Team van. It's like an sitting in first class on an aeroplane in there, but the one I've been in didn't have TVs.

Last time I went biking in the alps, I had 2 bikes on the roof and 3 on the tow bar bike rack. Not a fun drive, wish I had something as luxurious at that!
