Title: New (to me)wheels
Post by: henryd on 27 September 2014, 21:58:34: Drove to Somerset today and bought a VW Touareg 2.5tdi,6speed auto and 174 ponies so quite adequate on the road,averaged 29mpg on the drive back too which I thought was quite good at usual cruise speed,very nice inside too,nice wood and leather :y

Yes I was quite pleased with that although our Signum took me up there to collect and that did 39.6mpg according to its trippy, thats a 3.0 too although doesn't weigh 2.5t like the Vw ::)
