Have you seen the price of Veg oil lately?!! Diesel is much cheaper. However, whatever you do, do not fry your chips in diesel, no matter how cheap it is. It really does not taste nice!! 😉

Speaks the voice of experience 🤣🤣

He isn't! I heard the last time he tried to haggle over it all he could negotiate was a trip round the Nurburgring in @LightBulbFun Invacar REV 🤣

I reckon 320t is angling for a labour bill or a discount 😂

Waste vegetable oil is much cheaper than pump diesel. 

I saw this appliance today, seems quite competent and not disgusting as far as ex taxis go.

he's probably got a swap in mind - isn't there a Ka going spare?

Jesus Christ, the Jaaaag looks small next to the Leaf!

 

The XJ bodyshell dates back to 1968 and the Leaf shell from 2010 so not a surprising difference given the 42 year age gap.

Looks alright that, you know. 9/10 would place random bid on a Sunday morning again

Been out on a test drive with the burd:

Her observations:

"It just gets fast. No building of torque, it's just there"

Positive so far..

 

She took us for ice cream, nice wee night out.

I provided a romantic end to the evening

 

It's all a bit Alan Partridge..

Gave it 20 mins on the charger. £8.47...

 

Got home and decided to try the 3pin charger

Started charging at 10pm, gunna see how much it adds in before I go to bed (likely 1am) started on 64%

 

Came with a genuine* Nissan tub to stop the front door chopping the extension cord 😂

I quite like these. What's the battery life like after those taxi miles?

All indications are good so far!

[High Jetter]

Taxis don't indicate!

[320touring]

Looks like 3hrs added 20%

Interesting to note that when I collected it, it was showing 113 miles with a full battery.

You're a bit lighter with the old right foot that the auction folk?

I think that may be it..

Bear in mind it doesn’t even “drive through the ring” at BCA any more so it’ll just have come off a transporter and go through photos/inspection then sit.
