I Want This Imperial AT-AT Volkswagen Van
I really wish this Imperial AT-AT Volkswagen Van were real. Because then I would be able to stomp on all those hipster Ewoks who live around me. Especially that guy who smells like Chewbacca and is always sitting at the coffee place without ordering anything.
I want
Does it come with Chewbacca....I could put him to good use, taxi drivers beware
But those VW vans were slow and consumed more fuel than a fighter bomber. the 1966 kombi 1500 used a massive 15.5L/100km and only does 102Km/h.......oh and takes 34,5 seconds to do 0-100
I still want one though......they are seriously cool
My merc does 7.3L/100Km.....which even by today's standards is good and it has a 60L tank

Yeah those old hippy vans are pretty cool, i guess that fuel consumption rate of your car is urban area only?
what's your highway/long road fuel consumption stig?

The varsities network is way faster than what I have at home. I could watch Top Gear on you-tube without having to leave the room for 20mins so it can buffer.
Anyway cheers all, have to leave for varsity as my accounting(meh) lecture starts at 12:30
