What makes you grin? Antidote to grumpy thread
Garythesnail replied to outlaw118's topic in AutoShite
I know of a couple of organisations which only buy* new VW Transporter vans, run them for a couple of years before stripping the signwriting and selling them as 'ready for conversion'. I also know a contractor who bought an all electric Transporter......... with a 40 mile range. The dealership where my SIL works has recently bought a number of Transits at auction..... just as prices seem to be taking a dive. -

Was speaking about this with my wife as we were driving to town earlier. My car has a rotary dial adjusting in 1° increments. Hers has physical buttons adjusting 1/2° at a time. We bith agree that any heater or climate control system needs only three temperature settings - "too hot", "just right" and "too cold".

Just worked out fuel consumption for my two and a half tonne brick-shaped car after giving it a chance to stretch its legs taking the grandkids from South Wales to Legoland and back. Am I the only one who thinks that 34 empeegees for an 8 speed Range Rover sport is bloody good? Bonus grin on the way back being overtaken by a 98 Mondeo estate with a towbar when I was doing 70. -

20 years old and quarter of a million miles and who know how many 'unsympathetic operators', it's done well just to survive! -
In my experience with an MG Montego.... Computer says, very softly "fuel level is low".

I'm sure it'll still GLF but VVCs are a great engine for a lightweight car.

I've always liked these as a 'smart' little coupe. WTF happened inside though? Doesn't seem to tie up with the mileage.

Has she got a pool table in the back of that? -
"Honda derived" PG1 In my ZS, BRMs and TFs. Best described as "Ok" in those. Not bad by any means but not snickety-snick.

If only you had a vehicle with a splash of a bright colour, both incidents could have been avoided.........
