    That's what I love about this channel. You get normal people with normal cars and the quality is the same as with a 6 figure car.

    To me, this channel is the celebration of the automobile. Beautiful design, form and function. Thank you for not discriminating and featuring vehicles that are beautiful in other ways! Its great to see million dollar cars most of us will probably only see on a screen. Please do continue to highlight vehicles the average person would attain, if they really tried!

    I drove a T4 to move my furniture to another city a couple of years back and it, too, was the 1.9D with 60hp. I might need to add that it was a total hoopty with a good 30cm of play in the gear stick (when in gear lmao) and starting it cold was like firing up an old diesel locomotive. Slowest car I've driven but it was the most fun I've ever had behind the wheel of a car. And the best thing? Even with +400k Km on the odometer it was running just fine once it got going and took me safely from A to B with a shit ton of heavy furniture in the back.

    If I watch just one hour of news it makes me want to run off and live this lifestyle immediately! The world is going crazy and this seems like such a peaceful way to live.

    With a 2.5l 5-cylinder TDI, this would have been perfect. T4s were such a giant leap towards modern driving experiences. We had a petrol T3 for our business and it was a slow, loud and fuel-consuming pain to drive, whereas a T4 - especially with the 2.5l 5-cylinder TDI was such a charm to drive (like a normal everyday car), even the long-wheelbase/high-roof ones, considering that only 102 HP were pulling way more than two tons in an ambulance vehicle setup.

      Phillip Clark in Poland t4 are still mainly workhorses and you can buy them for cheap, unless it's a westfalia conversion or a syncro in good shape

    • @LaguzzA
      @LaguzzA 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      T4 westfalias never really dropped in price, it's only because of diesel restrictions that we see a slight drop in popularity right now

    • @michaelconverse5127
      @michaelconverse5127 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      morsch agreed, a t1,2, or even 3 would be more fitting. This is just an old plumbers van with a bed in back. Could be a Chevy Astro or a Chevy.

    Callum, great stuff lad! And what a fantastic way to spend your 20's, I travelled extensively when I was in my 20's and early 30's and the lessons I learned, memories I made, etc were countless and have stayed with me to this day (20+ yes later!) As for your VW, I think I'd much rather have one of these than one of the uber expensive, 21 window vans (or 23? 28? I'm not that familiar) that you can't drive, at least not like you drive this one. Back in the 90's I rode my mid 60's BMW R65 across the British Isles and there were definitely days I wished I had a rig with a trailer like yours just so I could get the occasional break from the elements.
    You've got the ultimate situation here Callum. You've got a fantastic German engineered VW van, it's kitted out with everything you need, you've got your motorbike trailing behind, and most importantly you've got your youth and its sounds to me like you appreciate all that. Nothing better than being young, having a great car or bike, and having nothing to do but go forward and explore new things and see new places. Keep it up Callum! Great vid mate!

      I really wish I could spend my 20’s doing that sort of thing. Unfortunately, I fell for the trap of college education and now I’m stuck working to pay for my outrageous loans, instead of having the freedom or time off from work to travel. “Getting your life together” and “starting a career” right after high school has to be the most crippling, miserable social disease to touch today’s youth. There’s no room for adventure in modern life when you’re so busy being responsible and planning for your all too distant retirement at the age of 22.

    the music track is too loud, drowns out the speaking. getting to be the norm on these vids

    • @Seegalgalguntijak
      @Seegalgalguntijak 6 ปีที่แล้ว +13

      Not just for these vids, this disease seems to be a trend in any kind ov video or movie, even those high-brow professional Hollywood productions. Always, the music (or vfx for that matter) is far too loud and the language is far too silent, so you have to adjust the volume continuously. It's really annoying!

    I wish I could say their choice of lifestyle is unique and individual, but it is only just a trend that young people follow.
    Thanks for inflating the cost of old VW Buses 40-50 times the original MSRP.
    I hope young people continue to follow this
    “Van life” trend, because now My 2 old Westfalia Campers have turned to Gold😁

    Still waiting for usa markets to have access to:
    Six speed vans
    Diesels
    More high tops
    Heavy duty suspension options
    Awd
    Multi use bumpers for racks, fuel carry etc
    4wheel option
    Lowers replaceable brush- friendly panels
    Decent clearance
    Dual alternators
    Secondary battery
    Varied interior layouts
    If Toyota ever wakes up to the scaled down 2018 recreational vehicle market...
    game over

    The only thing you have to be aware with these is the danger of rust. If it isn't rusty, then you're good, otherwise you may have to replace some floor panels or rockers.
