This is a lot of car for not much

And with an LPG conversion you could afford to use it

In a moment of weakness I drove Jasper's Surf up to Wolverhamton ( Why I hear you ask!) and started off with a full tank and tried to average 125kph came back with a 5.4 Searider at 100 ish KPH(2000 RPM) the truck truly didn't notice the tow which was cool.

The total fuel Bill was 63 pounds and the distance travelled was 638 clicks.

I think that's pretty expensive so I certainly wouldn't reccomend a 3.0litre Auto Surf to a Student

The Moral of this story is that it cost me 63 Quid to See David Manning and I could have seen Walter Trouht three times for that much money or had 24.5 Bottles of Magners

I have a Nissan Patrol for sale around the £2300 mark. Its a big brute with plenty of room in the back, and will tow anything anywhere. The very reliable Nissan 4.2 block returns an amazing 30 mpg. Anyone interested?

I don't think 28 mpg too shabby when towing! Even @ 100k. Best I've had running light is around 28mpg.

Did you know the word gullible has been taken out of the dictionary?
