Nobody in their right mind would buy a Merc of that vintage so it must be the SsangYong Rodius

Dosn't Mike Brewer drive about in one of those in some episodes of Wheeler Dealers?  :-\

If that is the best 'fatty Brewer' can do they can't be paying him much.

Is it four wheel drive by any chance?  As in formerly Ford.  :)

Edit: Ah, I didn't spot the clue on page 3.

My fun car is a 2020 Bmw F32 430d M Sport with indicators.
My cruiser is an Audi A6 Avant S Line Black Edition with indicators.

With the MPG you are getting it must be petrol. Yes?

Wrong.  It runs on dumper truck fuel.  :-X

Some would say it might drive like a dumper truck but it's surprisingly refined.  ;)

But you only managed 28.9 MPG on a run.

Tunnie will be shaking his head in disbelief.

I reckon with a bit more encouragement, I can get the Jag down to under 30mpg over the tank.

Oh no, he's bought a Renault Avantine

A previous neighbour of mine worked for Renault UK head office, in marketing. He kept bringing home strange cars - like the Avantine, Vel Satis, 24v clit. Needless to say none of them ever sold any real quantity in the UK & he could never explain why they bothered to import RHD versions. He is now very high up in Renault Europe & things seem to have the other way with the current Laguna and Espace not even making it to these shores. I guess they are focussing on high volume products that, for some reason, British people continue to buy.  ???
