    gotta be the astra van, the number of times i've been bombing down the fast lane only to see one of these appear from no where in my rear view mirror is silly. And my car isn't exactly one that inspires me to drive slowly either

    aye the Sprinter's a nice van, but the 3rd gear is prone to failure if it's driven like a nub.... ours was.. (but not by me) it went through 4 gearboxes in as many years

    I must admit, full out on the motorway, the sprinter is fast! I was with someone in an empty Sprinter (not sure what the engine was, diesel of some sort) and we reached 150 Kmph on the dot (about 93Mph) before the limiter kicked in... Now for a van, thats not bad!
