1974 Ford Transit

My new hobby was Scuba diving and I decided I needed a cheap and comfortable place to rest my weary bones whilst away diving on the weekends.  The result was this motorhome conversion.  It turned out to be really fun to drive as it was so low geared I could beat almost anything away from the traffic signals when they turned green and hold them off until I reached about 30mph.  It was easy at that point to just ease off of the gas and stay at the speed limit and *let* the other car go ahead *after already* beating him.  I'm sure there are still some MGB owners driving around shaking their heads in surprise :)

Unfortunately, the particular vehicle didn't prove to be nearly as reliable as the Escort and I lost count of the times that I had to call help out to try and find a busted fuse (located *under* the metal plate that the battery sat on, away from all the other fuses) or find some short in the wiring system both of which took out all the electronics in the car, to name but two infamous examples.
