Inter shitty collection

[2MB]

Just realised I posted this in the open forum. Silly me...

 

Waking with the familiar excitement. Getting on a train with a one way ticket and a bag of food. Rain soaked cityscape giving way to muddy vistas, the blue-grey morning light revealing huddles of new lambs, still bare trees and affordable housing. It can only mean one thing, a car collection!

Currently heading due north, being moved for the first and last time today by a V12 engine.

Like a school trip, lunch will be demolished by 8am

[spartacus]

Any clues?

[Crispian_J_Hotson]

Have you ate your lunch yet?

[2MB]

It’s all gone. Clues, hmm.

It’s the first car bought for purely financial reasons, as I’ll be doing a fair few more miles from next week and economy will be a factor. Been using my Elgrand for commuting and it’s a lovely old thing but 23mpg is losing its novelty, even using veg oil.

So the brief was:

50+mpg

Vegetarian

£30 tax

Which narrows it down somewhat

[eddyramrod]

Are we there yet?

[2MB]

Not yet. Pulling out of Newcastle. Weather too dreich for effective station photos

Currently crossing the border into the land of true beauty and Volvos

[Fabergé Greggs]

I’m going with small Pug. 106.

[2MB]

Small yes, but less French. Wish it was a 106 but afaik they never snuck under the £30 tax threshold

[Cavcraft]

Leonard Peels VW SDi diesel van thing?

I don't think I would risk putting veg oil in anything that is in the 30 quid tax bracket

Quick change at Waverley.

There is one car, as far as I know, that won’t have an issue with it

[ProgRocker]

Toyota Yaris diesel??

Good work on maximising your value on the £3 Meal Deal, I thought I was the only one who had those Naked veggie milkshake things just because it's the most expensive drink, hence biggest discount*. Hope you got the privies T crisps too.

The only £30 tax thing I've had was a 2.1 twin turbo Merc that allegedly made over 200 bhp , does that mean if I'd rum it on chip pan waste everything would have been hunky-dory?

My sentiments exactly on the meal deal. Out of shot was a pack of fridge raiders chosen because they are the most expensive snack.

Arse would be nipping a bit putting veg in a merc CDI or D4D Yaris, this is much more towards a tractor in terms of its propulsion device

[2MB]

Almost back in England now. Car is boringly competent and decent on the motorway, so no complaints here.

SDI BTW

[clayts450]

Good God, my eyes..... and I don't just mean the colour.

 

Great shiting mate

[spartacus]

Really? That'll run happily on veg? That'll be a cheap do then, well bought, can we have more pics and a write up when you get back please.

[smellypoo]

That's a bit.... bright!

 

Still, makes a change from the virtual monochrome of the cars sold these days - you won't lose it in a car park!

 

Well bought!

[Bradders59]

I too would be interested to know if that will happily run on vegoil. If it turns out to be the case I will bear it in mind for the future, if my 190D ever gives up the ghost.

[Lacquer Peel]

Leonard Peels VW SDi diesel van thing?

£30 tax and 50MPG+, I wish.

The Lupo SDI, ideal for mingebags! I wouldn't mind one myself.

[Jams]

Ive been thinking of these when i change jobs and loose my van

[chatsharris]

Quite nice to see one that hasn't been pineappled to an inch of its life.

 

RATLOOK IT MEHT.

[ProgRocker]

Lupo - one of the last VWs I actually like the look of. Well bought!

[2MB]

There are numerous sources of knowledge online that swear by the sdi for vegetarianism. Funny a 190d was mentioned, I have one of them but a bit of quick maths on an envelope put a lupo much cheaper overall. Obviously the merc has a style that can’t be matched by many things but for once I’m trying to be sensible.

The girl I bought it off was asking what I was gonna call it, I said it’s not something I’ve ever done but Mingebag quote suits it.

64.1 mpg on the way home, I think that can probably be improved with a few tweaks and improving how I drive it

[Lacquer Peel]

The 1.9 SDI is great on veg, I imagine the 1.7 is the same.

Now thats a colour. LamborGreeny
