Great Vans. Magical landscape. How long are your vans? All 6 metres? Or is there also a 680 or 7 metre? I've been to Scotland twice with a rented 6 metre van. Loved the roads. Would now like to buy my own. MAN 4x4 680 - Now I'd like to know if I can still use it to drive Applecross, Drumbeg, Glen Etive, Hushinis,... all the beautiful narrow and winding roads. So theoretically? Of course, I still have to get used to the dimensions and practise at home in Germany.
