Norwegians =/= Swedes.

Not a Sprinter, it’s a Ford Transit.

That’s a Mk 3 Transit, isn’t it?

You know the are on completely different platforms, right? If you used Golf instead of Jetta it would actually make sense.

Really don’t care. In Europe :D

Here’s the key (from another post above) “the enclosed rear makes them eligible to be registered as commercial vehicles.”

He didn’t go to jail because he was speeding. He went to jail because he lied to the police and tried to dispose of evidence, by dumping the jammer in a river behind his house. That’s how serious a crime it is to pervert the course of justice.

I’m big on turbocharged cars so I tattooed a turbo on my arm. Pretty sweet right?

Way better.

I think the two external mirrors are a european legal requirement. They certainly are here in the UK on any car made since 2010, and thats something I didn’t expect to be looking up this evening :)

You know that we don’t get the 1.5 litre version of ND. I don’t really know why I feel slightly apologetic for saying this, but that’s the one I want.
