I don't know that I could do it, $100k for a van, albeit a very nice one. I baulked at the ~$73k+ (and quickly rising) cost for a new Multivan when we were looking for a replacement late last...

That's so bloody awesome!

Small update.

The garage door remote has been replaced a couple of times thanks to moving houses, but this install made that nice and easy. It still works a treat. But 10 years later the clips...
