It was an awful thing to drive. Wheezy, asthmatic engine coupled to a notchy gearbox with failing syncro. Excessive road noise and engine roar made even modest speed feel faster than it actually was.

After dropping off the last pax, i would fuel it up to return it with a full tank. At a roundabout taken briskly, i clipped the inside curve and it lurched up onto two wheels.

Think i declined to drive it after that. I didnt need that sort of excitement.

you've obviously never driven a Ford Econovan aka Mazda Bongo (E series van)

remember driving through Gippsland one day when a small wind hit it side on & pushed me across the Highway into oncoming traffic...
Typical 80's van really !
