I was surprised at how good they drive. I think the high roof is a big much for around town use, But as a Land Yacht and cruiser - very nice, very nice indeed. Pics would be nice. Scott

Well it's a drive *and* a ferry ride.

But for you? Sure!

(joking)

Sorry. Can't go. I need to allocate all my spare time to this conversion.

Interesting comments on the improved driving characteristics. I would have assumed it wouldn't drive as well as a Westy. And stealth mode. Your friend has a good point.

Maybe the seller has some pics?

Neil.
