Aren’t Terranos Small

jims-terrano · 22-09-2019, 22:26

After being without the 3 litre truck for over a week and away this weekend in the VW Transporter, I jumped into the old project truck and drove it around this afternoon. Crickey it feels small and low down, jeez I used to love this truck but it feels like a little go cart now.

Oh yeah the exception of course

Seriously tho I used to think my standard trucks were high up and seemed pretty big to me until now when I’ve got used to driving my van around. Love the van I have to say even tho some of me wishes I still had the truck. Apparently it’s been bought by a second hand car dealer a few miles away so who knows I may see it around to rub salt into my wounds.

I like that they are narrow they fit down tight lanes better and are easier to park, I will be fitting some wheel spacers though, as for height mines lifted 2" and thats enough for me, I was pooping my pants last night on a couple of lanes thinking I was gonna tip over

I've got a decent route from Oldham over to holmfirth that probably includes most of them

Much as I love my VW I bet it won’t drive any of those routes. Still miss the 3 litre and I know it would of coped well on those lanes I’ve still got the project truck.
