Regards Jim
JimR Posted May 28, 2009 Author Posted May 28, 2009 you cant beat a sprinter, There a bit quick too !

wild foamy Posted May 29, 2009 Posted May 29, 2009 There a bit quick too ! Sprinters are good, my ol' man had a 312 and it went like shit off a very shiny shovel. sold that because the payload was too small, now has a Volkswagen LT46, most of the bodypanels are the same as the sprinter but its a twin-wheeler and has a larger engine. we should go back to simpler times... i still got my "little red wagon" in the garage
