The full size Transit and the connect can be hustled down the road with fun..
I have driven a 17 seat minibus version and you could intimidate car drivers with it,that was a hoot!
I also saw the remains of a connect in one of our bodyshops,it had taken a very hard hit to the left front corner and everything in front of the firewall had been moved about 6 foot to the right!
That means bodywork,chassis legs,engine and tranny!
There was nothing really connected to the firewall to be honest,it was sitting alongside the van! the 'box' of the van was twisted out of shape too,but.......The drivers cell was intact.
