Description Nearly bought one this week. I guess it's just been on my mind...

Thank you.

I now own one of its younger brothers, a Carry 1.3.

Ooo, there are lots of those on the university campus here, they look like great little vans! You're so lucky!

Oh no, is it unreliable?! that'd be most unfortunate...

I've had the clutch replaced since buying it.

It has a rather high mileage on it.

wow, the clutch - unfortunate. i guess there's not much to be done about high mileage, though, huh? well, i hope it runs more smoothly for ya now.

Much smoother now, thank you.

My one worry now is my front left indicator, which sometimes works but mostly doesn't...

I always wanted to get a mini-van like that and paint it up to look like the Mystery Machine.

This is so awesome looking! I really love the angle you drew it from and the details look great. Nice work! ^.^

You might want to use a bigger minivan than that. Four adults and a Great Dane will barely fit inside a Super Carry, if they fit at all... (Well, two adults and a Great Dane would fit in the back, but not with anything one could call comfort...)

Thank you.

Aww, it looks like a cute build... I mean... It looks like a blue bus... Which is cute... Maybe because it's reminiscent of the kids' show Playdays.

Ah. I've never seen that show...

It's a very small bus. A passenger version would probably have six seats.

I remember Hammond in the Top Gear van challenge with his Supercarry. XD He rolled it.

Yep.

He did mention that the name was a bit optimistic.

I nearly bought one this week, but it was in bad shape and I chickened out.

I haven't watched it in a while. I usually remember these things.

Ah, well better to chicken out then be stuck with a hunk of junk.

True, true... but now I have no car at all, so...
