    I wouldn't disagree that a couple of my cases are a tad too large, but other than that I wouldn't say I had an undersized or oversized rig.

    Things change though don't they, I used to fit it all into a Mercede's A class (with all bar the drivers seat removed). I'm sure if I tried hard it "might" almost squeeze into the Partner, but to be honest, I can't be bothered. Why struggle and squeeze if you don't have to?

    By the way I LOVE the vito!

    I can fit a small setup in a Ford Focus with ease - massive boot space

    With the exeption of the new style , probably the best looking vans.
    I'd say the MK3/4 was one of the best ever, functional, easy to maintain, reliable (if looked after) and certainly best looking. They were just so far ahead of their time
