General Car Chat / Re: £25,000 OMEEEGAH

I used to do work for a trader who sold ex-police vehicles and it was surprising how many came off the various forces with the gun safes still fitted,had a couple of mk 2 granadas that still had blue lights behind the grille (unmarked cars)

Nice one mate, dunno about the no issues as only 70k though! Mines done 50k & i'm slowly but surely rebuilding her bit by bit

..... Not wanting the fuel costs of a V6 (I know this is arguable) and  ......

I've just returned from France with our Lunar Delta 520/2 caravan on the back of my 3.0 V6
In total I did 1550 miles and used 81.2 gallons         

I make that 18mpg!

Trip computers says 19.1 mpg so I must've got the total milage wrong  Still not bad though considering 

my calculator says 19.08 mpg so your trip is on the money,how much of that mileage was solo?

General Car Chat / Re: Vauxhall Ampera?

« on: 05 July 2010, 10:44:47 »

I was looking at the ampera at goodwood and talking to one of the teccys there,he said it will do about 40 miles on battery alone and then the engine kicks in to run a generator to drive the electric motor but this does not charge the batterys so when you return home you still have to plug it into the mains which seems a bit irish to me but he reckoned that most peoples commutes are less than 40 miles so the engine will never cut in
