not sure... its G's fault for putting LPG in my mind!  ;D

Europe fuel bill would be around £800 i estimate. Thats 6,000 miles, 400 miles per tank = 15 tanks of fuel @ £50 = £750

Sooo if i buy second hand lpg parts for say £200 or buy a car with the bits on... it should work out cheaper buy quite a bit.

Thanks of course if i can find enough LPG stations...

Its known as GPL over the water... so just wanted to ask if anyone has any experiance with stations in Europe?

I hear its more popular than here, and at less than 40p a litre damn cheap stuff.

Considering converting the Senny to LPG... buy something like this:

Rangie 3.5 V8, has THREE !!! LPG tanks, rip all the stuff off. Fit it to the Senny and sell the Range again for £200??

Nothing wrong with cloth, and maual is certainly the gearbox of choice for proper drivers! ;)

A manual 2.5 facelift elite is unusual, but not unheard of.

Now go find a 3.0 maual facelift elite!  :)

Whats the finders fee for something like that?  ;) ;D

in fact looking at it again i cant see what i think i thought i saw...ignore me and pass another beer  :y


 [smiley=beer.gif] [smiley=beer.gif] [smiley=beer.gif]    :y

I find cloth just as comfy as leather, dad has it in his... and tbh no real differnce to me really. In fact i prefer cloth in the summer, cause you burn your legs & arse when in shorts  ::)

Very nice... it's a pity it's only a 2.5 though, cos in addition to the missing 40 BHP you don't get leather :(

If it were a 3.0 that would have been damn near perfect!

If I was in the market i'd have that! Superb example... and for me the 2.5 is perfect.  ;)

A friend of mine sold his N reg elite 77k, to his next door nieghbour for £2300, about 3/4 months ago.

That must have been a minter!!!!
A stupid neighbour!  You can get a decent facelift for that...

Yep. I paid £2750 for mine.

Same here.... very stupid price for an N Reg Elite!

Unfortunately Jay £500 is about right for an M Reg Elite.... sorry not want you want to hear. You may get £750 at a push...

M is just getting old now (1995) - My '93 24v Senator was £300 with 12 Months MOT

Surley there must be open AP's in places like Amsterdam, Paris, Oslo, Berlin, Geneva, Vienna, Rome ect... cause those are the main points where i have to "Report" in..
As I say, I've never found any in Europe.  The manufacturers there sold them presecured, something that is only just started to happen here in the last year or so...  (apparently, us Brits were too stupid to set them up securely before)

Bugger  >:( - Tinternet cafe it is then....

I just sent an N80 back, to big & stuff I'll never use...

I have an N80, upgraded from a N70.

I only upgraded cause its got WiFi.... personally BoBo i would have kept it because... WiFi = Skype!  :D

Ok so its not been released yet and development is sluggish, but will be very usefull when its released.

When in Europe in some random city... can search for a 'free' WLAN.... and connect up. Use Skype and call dads PC for free  ;) :D
In europe, you will find that consumer wifi is secure by default....

I was hoping hotels are still easy pickings.... Marriott generally have unsecured wireless as do a few others...
Most hotels tend to have 'open' APs, but without an account you can't get out to Tinterweb....

Most Marriotts in US and EU just have unsecured AP, when you first connect you have to go to a terms and condition page and click accept. Then your on...

Did it many times throughout the US, using hotels and businesses stupid enough to leave them open and share drives!  :o

Most likely we will leave the a laptop on a scan, driving though towns and cities. If we happen to come across one, stop and call. Going to get an Inverter in the car so the laptop will run....
After 3 driving trips to France/Italy, I never found an open AP anywhere.

I've stayed in a few Marriotts here in UK, never able to get past the first screen 'enter userid/password, buy one from reception if you aint got one' type thing....

 :'( :'(

Drive though Hayes on the way to Uni (less than 5 miles) you pick up around 30 - 40 unsecured AP's.... some even are the street adress of the house in question!  :o

Stayed in Marriotts to with my dad .. they either have a standard RJ45 network hook up (plug & play) never tried WiFi in UK marriott, the US must be different.

Surley there must be open AP's in places like Amsterdam, Paris, Oslo, Berlin, Geneva, Vienna, Rome ect... cause those are the main points where i have to "Report" in..
