So are you asking is a car or a van better for surfers or are you asking what is the best car and what is the best van for surfers?

Reliable , cheap, can carry people/stuff. So what ever fits that bill.
However as the owner of a 2.1 fuel injected T25, I can say I only get 2 out of 3.

Five and a half thousand Pacific Pesos for the truck, might be easier if you come and pick it up. I'll chuck in a tank of diesel and point you towards some nice waves :wink: If you want the mouthy blonde driving it, I'll chuck her in too, along with lots of accessories.

Here's my new one :D Just proving that I'm comfortable with my sexuality, whilst doing my bit for oil reserves. It's got a 60mm suspension lift, snorkel going on tomorrow, and a winch some time next month. I think my 9'6" is heavier than the car though, so not an ideal surf wagon, but great for getting to the good fishing spots.

Hey Kitey, it's not quite your turn, here's this morning's report for Hutt :D

We've received 50cm of light, dry powder snow over the last 24 hrs (wind affected in exposed areas) and the weather is clearing nicely.

I had a bay window camper van - just the right size it was - not too big and not too small - never got stuck either in sand or sonw.

Not the safest in a bump though.

I miss it alot :cry: !

This is almost exactly like mine was :| http://www.dormobile-cars.com/wp-conten ... ire-21.jpg

I built one of these too - but never went surfing with it - just used it as an all year round commuter for work - 40 miles a day !
