  Cheap van hire (Article)
  And that means they need a significant amount of space for parking, loading and unloading.   2. Check your driving licence   Can you drive a van on a car licence?

  Review: Sphero Mini (productReview)
  However, when it comes down to it, the ball mostly just rolls around in one place or zooms off in a random direction whenever the required scowl, shock face or sad expression is made. But Face Drive isn't the Mini's weirdest driving method. The newly added feature, Scream Drive, lets you scream at the ball to get it rolling. Whisper to slow it down and shout to speed it up. It's bizarre but strangely addictive.

  The footage is very dark when driving into the sun in the morning, which makes it tough to recommend in some ways. Although, when it isn't so bright (when driving through the village in the above video), the footage is a bit lighter and you can see details like reg plates.

  Review: Stoplock Pro review (productReview)
  The meat of the device is the curved main section; the middle section sits flat against the centre boss of your steering wheel while the other end curves underneath the bottom the wheel rim and rests close to (or on) the front end of the driving seat. At the other end is a stout lock, which clasps around the top of your steering wheel and is secured with high strength key. What's it like? It takes just a few seconds to put into place and the same to remove it; once secured the wheel can’t be turned even if the standard steering lock is defeated because the bottom section of the bar will collide with the seat or the legs of the person sat in the driver’s seat.

  Review: Garmin 55 dash cam (productReview)
  The Travelapse feature (timelapse to most of us) takes still images as you drive and stitches these into a movie that will show you a quick version of your journey as if you're fast-forwarding through a video. This isn’t exactly a useful feature, but it's a fun option for those that might want to catch the sun going down on a scenic drive.

  Used Van Buying Guide: Volkswagen Transporter T5 2003-2015 (Article)
  The base 84PS unit in the T5.1 can be easily tuned to nearly double that, there being a whole host of options for adding power for not a great deal of outlay. Inbetween there are 102PS, 114PS and 140PS steps up the ladder. Usually front-wheel drive, the T5 can have all-wheel drive via Volkswagen's 4Motion system, which unless you’re determined to reach the most inaccessible places, isn’t really necessary. Volkswagen DSG automatics aren’t without problems in the long term.
