New Car!!
« on: 05 August 2008, 20:44:59 »

as a lot you know last night there was some frantic action on ebay and the forum which ended up with me purchasing a vehicle from mr Jamesv6cdx..

WOOOPEEEE it's here, sitting proudly outside the house!! What a legend that man is. Despite going slightly wrong on the way, nevertheless there was even an upside to that. I used my poorly Elite to get to him so he could follow me back and Dr James' diagnosis was no head gasket failure!! as many of you had already insisted!
So just another investigate and clean session at some point!


WAHEY! I actually told Mrs Dippy that i'd bought another car!! and no slaps!

WOWZAA! - i can fit a house in the boot!

WOOSAAR! - I have now entered the LPG zone... ooh a whole new world awaits..

happy days.. Pizza's done too

thanks guys!

One last Omega on the drive, one Corsa on the lawn...maybe they'll go to a good home before too long!

Half of my school was named after him....Bader Hall.

Is that just off the "Spitfire Island"?

Used to be about 44p a month ago...might be up to 46/47 now...

ooh thanks for all the tips guys. i'll have to hunt for that castle vale place!

i've done a search on petrolprices.com and it's got 58.9 as my closest at a texaco in Kingstanding. but a range of  53.9 - 61.9 within 10 miles of here! weirdly i have a local BP that put the pipes in for lpg years ago but still no pump :(!!

there's a place called Autogas on Cuckoo bridge too that advertise on their website at 48p. Weird that petrolprices doesn't find them eh!
(http://www.birminghamautogas.co.uk/index.php)

either way it's so much nicer than 111.9!! :y :y
