Drive something different today……

[X5Sport]

Nothing exotic, but a model year 2025 Transit minibus (I’m the only one in the organisation that I volunteer for with a D1 licence), the others are all too young (now I feel properly old!).

Amazingly it comes with:
Air con
Power Steering
Electric seats
Sat Nav
Keyless start
Electric locking
Adjustable steering column (manual!)
A diesel powertrain with some poke (unlike the 1984 2-litre petrol I operated as a government employee)
Digital dash

OK it is also limited to 62mph, but it’s a 14-seater so fairs fair, but it’s lightyears ahead of the ‘bus’ I had in the 1980s that struggled to drive up the Wrekin in 2nd gear! Colour me impressed. It even does about the same mpg as my X6 despite it weighing almost 4 tons. No I’m not swapping it!
