How many gallons per mile?

I know the Tiger is about 2.5 gallons per mile.  Can this beat it?

It makes all the difference when you buy a new tank! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;)

Now I could live with that symes! :y :y

The trouble is - back to the gun - the one on that tank looks like a pea shooter!  I want an 88mm like on the Tiger tanks.  If I am going to clear traffic on the M25 I really, really need that...........that's what I want............really really want.............(got carried away!! ;D ;D) a 88mm! 8) 8) :y

  Back to the bit about the Mk1 Cortina, my mate has the only 1962 4 door model ever produced. He bought it from the origional owner, who bought it from Ford at the Earls Court motor show in October,62. It was basicly a pre production model. he has all the paperwork for it to back everything up about its history. The Cortina club took 5 years to recognise it for what it was. Lots of anomalys on it compared to other Cortinas.

Could you explain that one.  I am missing something here which I thought I knew.

I understood the Consul Cortina Mk1 was launched in 1962 in both 2 and 4 door versions.

Did the first 4 door actually follow in 1963? ???

....and back to the original point....  ::)  :P

When was the last time anyone saw a Ford Scorpio on the road?  :-\  As they were the Omega's competitor I'd say The Mig's have done rather better over time!!  8)

Edit: Just done a quick ebay search and there are ..... 7 Scorpios listed!
Edit2: and 5 on Autotrader....  ;D
Edit3: Just checked and they stopped making Scorpios in 1998, I thought they stopped about the same time as the Omega....  :-[
