Seat Altea
We took the new Seat Altea for a test drive down to the Bridgnorth Downtown Race in October. The car’s mainly going to be used as a management vehicle for the team and will soon be stickered up with Ancillotti logos. Look out for it alongside the Ancillotti van at more races near you very soon.
On the outside the car has a refreshingly different look to it. The design sets it a world apart from your average hatchback/MPV. Nice touches to be noted include the sculpted front headlights. Our Altea came in a cool metallic silver colour which looked great.
Alongside its sporty good looks and performance, the Altea also has safety covered scoring an impressive five star Euro NCAP Rating. So how did it feel to drive, well nice and solid would best describe it and the car never suffered from lack of power when you put your foot down, another plus.
VW Transporter
I would just like to say thanks to the guys at wayside VW for letting me test drive there new toy fresh from the box.
Arranged for the national at Pen-y-bont-fawr to take as a spare van along side the ancillotti stickered T5 Transporter that we already have, but with the national now postponed till later in the year, i took the beast out for a gentle trip to Cwmcarn in Wales. This new T5 Transporter has been modified to look like the new Sportline model that has just been made available to buy from most van centres.
It is has 170 bhp, lowered 50mm, alloy wheels, colour coded bumpers, rear spoiler, front spoiler and is just the best looking van i have ever seen. If i could have had a £1 for every person that looked at me i would be a millionaire! forget your fast sport, petrol thirsty and now very common cars. Vans are now it!
Its hard to write a full report on how good this van is other than to say go and book a test drive NOW! If you want people to look at you and wonder why a big black van is over-taking them in there Golf GTI's and all the like. This is the tool you need!!
Once again thanks to Andy Cole and everyone at the Wayside van centre for putting this van together and allowing me to drive it! I have to tell you one thing, when i picked the van up i was told it would make me smile! All i can say to that is in fact it made me cry! (WHEN I GAVE IT BACK)
