Heh, I even recognize that parking lot in your photo :) Of course my Tristar (same color) is a Syncro, so I'm one up on you ;)... As to the Ford Transit Connect, yes, I think I may have mentioned in a couple of weeks ago. There is one in my neighborhood, here in the D.C. suburbs. It uses the 4 cylinder zetec that the folks up at Bostig use. Doesn't seem to have a 4wd version, but is small enough to be interesting as a potential camper conversion someday. The "station wagon" version has windows on the sliding doors and 4 seats. And unlike VW vans of recent years, its reasonably priced too.
