Well there you go - bet those 10 bikes would cover ~50% of the cost of a T5!
Win/Win. -
I've never quite got over vans after working in bike shops for years.
2WD 3.0 turbo hiace, RWD, skinny wheels and nothing except a bike in the back (of course you don't have to take the wheels off, these things can fit 5 bikes in them wheels on), and I've had more fun in that on a gravel road than I have had in some of my more 'sporty' cars. It was considerably easier to lose rear traction in that thing in any thing I've driven since. Extra points for being able to carry a motorbike and having a super low load tray.
I'm not saying they handle well or have nice interiors, this thing barely had rear brakes, but I was happy doing long road trips in it to ride awesome places. Did get it stuck in a field once though. Good times. I feel a nice transporter I'd always care too much about, unless it's something like a t25 syncro I'd rather have a bit of beater.

When I bought the C55 I was still mainly riding on the road. These days I should probably sell 10 or so quite nice road bikes that I never ride.
Van life does seem to be beckoning.
