Turvey Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 On our trips south to Inverness we get over 50mpg, which is a mixture of a couple of 120 mile A roads driving and usually a couple of days driving around town........in the Qashqai I hasten to add Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmurray01 Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 I do like my good luck of getting one of the few remaining "branded" packs of cigarettes. I also like being completely over my cold/flu virus so I can now enjoy smoking again!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken.K Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 True, but when you are on a relatively low salary you have to consider fuel costs and the impact that has on your life. I agree but depending on your travel and mileage fuel costs become negligible and more maintenance costs become more important.

GMX Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 I do like having a long weekend in Warickshire on my mate's farm. Pipper had a go at droving, and managed not to lose any cows. Some years ago, Brandy's attempts at droving weren't as successful; she always had a few stragglers breaking off and returning to their field. Brandy also didn't like being moo'd at: whereas Pipper was quite indifferent to a loud moo in her face.

That's not too bad for a 6.8L, if I drove it like a great granny I didn't get much more than that in my 4L V8 BMW.14mpg i seem to recall was the most economical I got from it. Mind you the armour plating and bullet proof glazing did add to the weight considerably compared to normal 740's, weighed close to 2 tonnes 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find the local roads suck the positivity out of my life lol. I just like to sit quietly in my own bubble and get to where I'm going.

jmurray01 Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 I do like the Rover excelling itself and getting 34MPG on the round trip to Edinburgh and back today!! Not too bad, especially considering I didn't drive slowly either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That couldn't be possible as there was never a GTI model of the 405, so what was it? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lenny Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 10 minutes ago, iantt said: they did everything except gti, gtx, sri, sti, etc. and the mi6 You could put Castrol GTX in to the engine of the SRI then contract an STi in the back seat and possibly get followed by the Mi6 in an undercover GTi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanW Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 Jusy nicely got back from watching Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.2 Loved the film!!

Jonro2009 Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 they did everything except gti, gtx, sri, sti, etc. and the mi6 My mum had a 405 years and years ago, possibly just over 20yrs ago. I am almost positive it was sri but I could be wrong. It had 3 letters on the back, it was silver that what I remember lol. Anyway that's not the point, I was thinking back to it and what I remember most is the little keypad in front of the gearstick. You had to type in the code to get it to start.

Jonro2009 Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 I was wondering how I can find out if any of my old cars are still running about, how would I find that out?Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
