Tis indeed. Can’t say I’m a fan but it’s better than grey. Looks better in the snow on the A66

It's a small fun car and I think the colour really suits it's nature. Looks in great nick too. Nice one.

Howay man. Thats lovely.  Like a magnificent sex-pea.

Well bought:)

I heartily approve, and so does Mr Irwin.

So far, so good. It’s nice to wonder whether the fuel gauge works from not moving, rather than seeing it drop noticeably every journey. The thing was made for trundling up and down the M62. Fuel economy should have improved after pumping the front tyres up a bit from the 21psi that was in them. Rears still presumably soft as some bright spark has fitted a pair of aluminium dust caps that are now rather well seized on. Period sprayings of release oil don’t seem to be doing much, but I shall persevere a bit more before trying plan B

A little update on this, it hasn't seen a drop of diesel since the day I picked it up, and continues to start and drive exactly the same on roughly 95% veg 5% petrol (because winter). Will post a more recent pic when I've bothered to wash it, I'm ashamed to say it has been ever so slightly pineappled.

Averaging 63mpg brim to brim mostly kicking its head in. If you wanted to it could easily top 70mpg, but I'd rather keep up with traffic

I've seen a smidge over 70mpg in ours using hyper-miling techniques.

 

These have to be one of the cheapest cars of our time. Amazing mpg, low purchase price and £30 tax makes them pretty hard to beat.

Only mildly* jealous of those MPGs and your likely performance stats Vs my Merc!

I used to have a 300td auto, it’d be a pretty close race

Not in the MPG stakes:)

Are you buying new vegetable juice or pre-fried?

I have a stock of SVO to use up, not found any waste oil at a reasonable rate near me

Would anyone be in need of this before I put it up for sale properly? It has been faultless apart from the voltage regulator on the alternator packing up. £14 fix. I need to fit the new front pads I’ve bought for it and repair the blowing exhaust, and it has a bit broken off the front panel under the headlights and a snapped window winder. It has been the most dependable car I’ve ever owned but I can’t justify keeping it with our third child on the way. Will take a pic when I go outside but it looks like this with a bit less filth

Sorry about the gumtree style pics

[DVee8]

Class photos, how much are you thinking about for it?

[2MB]

I was thinking to do the few jobs and put it up for about £750 in the usual places, but prices seem to be all over the place. I can’t think of a cheaper way of getting about apart from cycling, which incidentally is how I commute now. Even so, there’s not much in it, tax is £30 a year and it does 60+mpg on veg
