Who was responsible for blurring the plate out wants sacking lol 😂
I'm a MK 7 Transit man and even I think this is the bollocks!. Can't understand why there are so many haters in the comments, just appreciate the engineering that's gone in to make this possible.
Love this van, fair play to Andi, he's built the ultimate show and go van! 😎👍
Wow
Image had he have kept a stock look the laugh you could have 🤭 brilliant bit of kit love it 👍
That V8 engine sounds amazing!
The engine is cleaner than my house! It sounds fantastic 😊
The reg Plate are T5 RSU 😁
A tow bar and roof rack for ladders would just finish it off.....
I’ve got a t4 lwb caravelle 106 bhp 😤that is awesome 👏
I use turtlewax too, and I have a van, and I love modified vans. And this video is epic, and I'm done! ✌️
Andy and Alex amazing builders check out not just campers for it’s happening again this time going for 1000 hp ! 😉👍🏻🇬🇧🇬🇧
2:35 they're not exactly covered are they c'mon 😆
Shuxx i want one !!!🔥🔥🔥,nicely modified 👌👌👌
Watching this video on 23/5/19. The MOT expired on 13/5/19. Is the van still on the road?
Never say or show your speed my friend got banned for putting his video on Facebook of him doing 127mph in a Mk1 golf with a r32 engine 🥺
top speeds always 70mph 😉
Yeah I bet he loved seeing himself saying that!.... 🤯
The back bumper looks sick
Better take it to the doctor then
Was wondering why turtlewax uploaded this, then they startrd cleaning the headlights half way through smh
Product placement my friend. 👍
Great video man 👏🏻👏🏻✌🏻
Ultimate tool for Amazon same hour delivery.
FUCKING SHIT THE BED MATE!!!! Im replacing my 2.4 diesel for one of these in my T5!!!
Would love to see this van more
I need this van for work I will finish my deliveries in couple of hours😁..........
And will cost you more money in fuel than you earn in a day
My dads got a 300bhp t6 which is custom
Been trying to contact Andy for a while to find out who he used to convert it as have a little project they might be interested in
Have you tried speaking to Not Just Campers John? I think they are away at Wörthersee at the moment - so may not be the best of timing..
No haven't tried them. But will.
Good vid shame about the wind 💨,felt sea sick 🤢
I know I am late to this video but awesome van man!! Not sure if you do any content in America but #bisimito has a 1,000 hp Honda Odyssey that you might want to check out.
818Nm...!!!
Wow 🤯 where do we meet this guy worth the van to get ideas
Sad reality of owning something nice in UK...

I need that engine in mine ....🙏🏼
Is it still only front wheel drive ...?
No it's awd. Uses the whole rs4 drive train
Awesome
RST5 LOGO!??
Is it still front wheel drive?
He said in the video that he had installed a Quattro drivetrain :)
4 wheel drive. Quattro drivetrain.
Max speed ?
Drove my bfs one once 120mph I got out of it and that was the standard T5 crazy fast for a van but acceleration was crap, can't imagine 745bhp in one lol must do 200mph haha
No way a van could do 200mph, even with 745bhp. Air would be like frozen jelly at that speed. Check out the Williams Espace from 93' with an 800hp F1 engine. That topped out at 194mph with a more aerodynamic body.
Max G my car has 749bhp and does 200mph with 1 gear to go, but the aerodynamics on this wouldnt let it do 200 i dont think, but it would get up there very very fast
It’s was 120 in Third
@@Fatjohn2508 yeah 😀
We touched about then 120.....
😲Really..........? Hah!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂Brilliant.
That van looks? Hard to discibe its hitting the freak or unique, or should i say freak and unique. What ever its is, its Fast😎😎😎👍👍👍
Das Beste Familien Auto
Do you ever have sunny skys?
dj458 dj458 that's a strange question to ask? Who exactly are you talking to and why?
How's it handle when sending it through Cliché Corner?
You should have shown the turning circle, which must be about the size of the Millennium Dome, so about as useful. Thanks for filming him speeding on a public B road hopefully the Police notice such illegal use and blatant disregard for other road users, like deer.
Those turbo's get very hot and had no heat shielding.
I loved the leather clad dash though, lovely detailing.
But his van looked so impracticable to use other than for shows, it doesn't even look capable of taking on a policeman when he's asleep, oops ment sleeping policeman lol
It's on air suspension so would handle them no bother
It’s a show van
So you failed to blur his number plate while he admits he was breaking the law speeding on camera? Strong move...
Pugneys car park?
Van life with a avicii
No dyno shows the so calls 700 bhp dyno sheet lol
I've had many VW Transporters, best vans by far. This one has an amazing engine, etc. However, it's looks so ugly for some reason. Have a look at the VW MT500, the fastest van in the world.
Hier fehlt es ja völlig an den technischen Details! Der Motor ist doch längs eingebaut, wie ist sowas überhaupt möglich in einem T5!
T5 RSU
How much did it all cost?
K
Van life?. Sounds like a very exclusive club . Not for me. A van is for builders and driving recklessly in order to deliver a parcel to a deadline , or storming mindlessly down a country road full of blind bends.
We still do that but we got bucket seats and arches catching the bumps on the lower suspension. Pushing builders is fun though ✌
Work van ??
SL301 on Instagram, he has a sick VW T5
Joe Finnigan
700hp van you cant stand up in that doesnt corner and probs breaks if you launch in the dry
Makes as much sense as putting the 130ps in the rs4.
Too low to get over the speed bumps that are on nearly every camp site probs just an 8 seater inside, fuck all to do with van life, guy spends more time polishing it than he does sleeping in it.
Sounds well though
Each to their own i guess
Why so serious? :))
Pointless blurring a plate we can still read!
Reported as stolen this year 😢
Needs a train horn
🆒🔝🙋♂️🇨🇿
Nuuuuuuuuuts!!!
Silly van, but interesting engineering exercise.
Audi engine
Doesn't go off road. So its useless to me.
Couldn't care less if it has 1500bhp any hot hatch with 250+ bhp on any B road would destroy it. What's the point of a super fast straight line van? It's a VAN
Dan Whitaker becauseeeeee..... maybe he built it for straight lines 🤷🏼♂️ thats like asking how is that land rover climbing that hill better than that aygo, unbelievable, some are built for straight lines, some are built for tracks, also like comparing football to snooker for fuck sake, thats a belter 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
What the point?
Because he can. And if I saw/heard that blast past me..... Then however much it cost would have been worth it coz I'd be like WHADAAFFAARRRKKK WASSSSDAAAATTTTT.....
Doesn't sound that great, not a nice sound at all.
Great van, but admitting doing 120 is a bit daft
He didn't say 120 miles per hour :)
Adam w the speedo showed 120mph so he didn’t need to say
I own a rare vw
But on the whole vw owners are crazy they need help
Losers public road
Vans are mad ugly
@Totally Anonymous thats a right good conment.lol
Can this van be bought or one made for resale?
yup
People saying if you say how fast you went on film is a bad idea then it doesn't matter. I could say i was going 200 in my t4 . Cant get a ticket ect cos its just words not proof
