Also known as Suzuki Carry, may be easier to find one of them.

More likely to be found in the UK.

its as bad as I feared, not to be offensive but I really hope, for the sake of other Irish road users, that your mate never finds one of these

But he already explained it would only be diffed when not on public roads.

Diffed. Hmm. So,...... ever driven one of these OP? As far as diffing goes, I'd say you'd have more luck with a ford transit or a hiace(or no luck!). There is, err, shall we say, a power defecit to be overcome....

Pottler, you need to bear in mind that they only weigh 780kg

I consider myself a sensible bloke that drives a diesel CMax and watches the MPG meter and it makes me happy when it goes above 50.
And for some reason I find the Bedford drifting strangely alluring, if one had a large, private concrete area, one could forget about droning about in a diesel in a sensible manner.

Also available as Subaru and Daihatsu, methinks unless I'm very much mistaken, I had a Daihatsu HiJet once, it was fun but scary round bends.

they do go around and if you hit the brakes hard the rear wheels lift off the ground,
crazy contraptions they are.

i have seen em do this

That's the Daihatsu Hijet you're thinking of, also known as the Piaggio Porter.
