You’d need to get me very drunk and pay me a 4 figure sum in advance to get me anywhere near Birmingham. When I go North on the M6 it’s in the middle of the night and I don’t stop until I’m through.
If you could do it all again...what would you do different?

I sold a Bechstein a few days ago, 11 years older than the Titanic, for £999! Horrible piano but looked the part! Customer was happy, I'm so shallow...
Half of me says crafter but I think I’d be dangerous in anything bigger lol
You're spot on there - if we hadn't been Euro 6, we wouldn't have been able to use a couple of routes on this road trip (mind you, given that one of them was the Parisian peripherique, that might not have been such a bad thing!). On the other side, I wouldn't have had a period of fretting after the dreaded 'ad blue range 650 miles' warning came up on the MFD (with near full tank of the stuff!), which then dropped to 600 miles before going back up to 5000 over the next 40 miles with me muttering 'f***ing VWs for most of it.
You and me both.
I was sitting in the van a little while ago waiting for the kettle to boil and having just returned from the beach when I realised that I hadn't actually opened our 'scenic canvas' in the pop top since the early days with the van and before the novelty wore off. I know that some people like it and use theirs often (but I've not noticed many when we've been out and about) but I now realise that it's another thing that I just wouldn't bother with if I was speccing another van. The fact that there's a 450mm odd wide shelf / hatch cover in front of the zip which has all sorts of crap piled onto it probably doesn't help but thinking about it, we didn't unzip the thing even before we had the shelf.

I’ve never opened my scenic canvas in the 6 years the pop top has been installed, not sure what the difference in price was but I’m sure it wasn’t much. It just might make the canvas easier to repair if damaged.
My first was a Mercedes! Wouldn’t do that again!
Probably mis-classified in the database as a Euro 6.
I couldn't make my mind up. Felt like I was going to use the VW as a daily driver and I have done trips in it, especially in this weather as my Toyota's air con isn't really working. But there's 2 metre barriers here and there that I'd never get under in a bigger van.
No. There were some non-adblue vans that were euro 6, but they were only available for a short period.
If my T6 wasn't my only car I'd definitely go bigger - crafter size - something I can stand up in without a pop top.
