Does Jeremy Clarkson throw a fit when he sees an American Astro pulling a caravan* and keeping up with traffic?

You've got some seriously mad skills, mate. A bit of vision as well. Nicely done, squire.

Cheers.

Very, very nice. I'm also curious as to powertrain etc...

Thanks!

Working on full air suspension, no handles/locks, smooth dutch doors at the moment, and an eventual roof chop. Powerplant and drivetrain will remain stock cos I have another modified car in the garage and that costs enough!!

Here's our current van ride....It has a cold air intake system, a Jardine Cat-back exhaust and is other wise stock. We added the hitch, since it had the trailering package and 3.42 gears already and a satellite radio receiver, but need to upgrade the factory am/fm/cd player in the future.
