was down in the waikato heading back to Jafaland & i pass a Hiace van on the side of the road. i recognised one of it's occupants on the side of the road so i turned around to see if i can help. seems the van is overheating & they were out of water & only had 1x 1 litre bottle suitable for water. i had a couple of 4 litres containers so i take my mate up the road to fill them up. get back & they start filling when they decided to start the motor. wank wank wank holey crap it's a rota transplant in the van!this van was one of them grand custom vans with the high roof, full of camping gear & 6 adults. this wagon was overloaded for a normal motor but it was powered by a rota! wtf! i waved goodbye but i get the feeling it's going to be an ongoing issue for them. who in their right mind puts a rota in a hiace & a big hiace at that!. have you guys seen stupid engine transplants like this before!

You think the Roadpacer was bad, there was a bus called the Parkway powered by the same engine! Could you imagine a fully laden 26 seater bus powered by a rotary driving up the steep and twisty roads of Mt Fuji!

I was just about to mention that bus too, they came as a smaller bus version too , though i wouldnt be surprised if it was actually triple rotor. and had more than the usual 5 gears
