VWs Coast camper brings more to shore

MID-SPEC VAN GETS THINGS COOKING AND OFFERS COMFORT AND CLASS IN SPADES
-
THE Volkswagen California is one of the best-known when it comes to camper vans, but it’s become more premium and feature-packed.
This latest has more creature comforts than ever, but does this dilute the experience?
WHAT'S NEW?
The previous model shared its underpinnings with those of the hardy Transporter panel van but this has more in common with a Multivan.
The idea is the California should offer a more car-like drive with improved refinement and handling. That's the theory, anyway.
WHAT'S UNDER THE BONNET?
Our California comes with a familiar set-up. There’s a 2.0-litre turbo-charged diesel engine linked to a seven-speed DSG automatic gearbox, sending a modest 148bhp to the front wheels. Zero to 60mph will take just over 12 seconds but you've got 360Nm of torque to help maintain acceleration.

From Sudan to Wells – mayor shares his remarkable story
IS truth sometimes stranger than fiction? Quite possibly. Could you write it? A ten-year-old boy from the Sudan, speaking no English, arrives in London in 1981. Forty-four years later he becomes the 651st Right Worshipful Mayor of a beautiful, quintessential tiny English city in the rural south-west of England. True or false? Totally true. We are talking about Councillor Louis Agabani and, of course, we are talking about Wells, and we are at the November meeting of Wells Civic Society, where Louis told his story.
