VW Van Centre:
Hey, good looking.
So, what’s it like owning one of the best-looking Volkswagen vans in the country? Gordon spills the beans, and tells us how he spent his winning prize:
Competition winner - Gordon Wood, from Scotland
Prize - Up to £1000 worth of Volkswagen accessories (including fitting)
1) How long have you had your van and what do you use it for?
I've owned my van since March 2008 and I use it for everyday commuting and camping trips.
2) When did you start customising/modifying it?
From the day I purchased it! I added little bits here and there, and then it just got better and better.
3) How did you feel when you found out you won the prize?
I was really shocked but excited, as I’ve never won a competition in my life, and couldn’t wait to get my T4 ready for the winter.
4) Which accessories did you choose for your van and why?
I purchased a full set of winter tyres, as the snow held us back from getting out and about last winter. I also decided to get a bike rack for the rear of the van, as my current roof rack makes it a struggle getting the bikes down.
5) How does your van look now?
My van looks even better, and now it is prepped for the colder months. Those sturdy tyre grips will not stop me enjoying the winter season! The bike rack will come in very handy for camping weekends, when the weather is warmer next Spring.
6) Any last words/comments?
I would like to thank the panel of Volkswagen judges, and the T4 forum for advertising the competition – it’s very much appreciated!
