My new guzzler

[Trotter]

The diesel Trek was on the top of my wish list some years ago. Funny how bankruptcy changes what you hope for in life. Many years later, I’ve got to say, I’m happy enough with Demi. But, your RV would be nice, if a tad impractical for me.
There ain’t no substitute for cubes.

No replacement for displacement according to the yanks. Autocorekt?

Until someone managed to explain turbos in a way they understood.

(I.E. when they kept getting beat by turbo motors lol )

...beer is very expensive too.

More so in Wales (and Scotland) where we have minimum pricing.

Mind you, the way prices are rising on stiff generally, this may not be an issue soon.

When I worked at a paint factory years ago I ran out of petrol just as I was driving through the gates to work, no problem I put 5 litres of thinners in and got to work for about two weeks on it, didn't half smoke though, it was like a two stroke with too much oil in.

Depends on what establishment you drink at.

I gladly gave up on the stuff 20 years ago.

No substitute for low down grunt.

I like the lions, but no cubs, tells its own story. Just keep away from hills and your get 20 mpg.

Two coffees is a fiver, beer is very expensive too.

I had the misfortune of being in a Whetherspoon's boozer in Kent last Wednesday, certain bitters were £1.49 a pint.

I tried one and said to the barman - "That was fekkin orrible, same again please".

My grandad used to mix parafin with petrol. He ruined a Standard Vanguard and a Vauxhall Velox. His next car was a 3 litre Rover - he stuck to just petrol then.

We looked at a Safari Trek a few years ago, it had a massive bathroom at the back and an electric drop down bed at the front.
In the end we bought a Winnebago. Another couple of metres longer but with the same engine (With a turbo).
Ours did around 15mpg, but who cares when you hear that lovely V8 ( diesel) burble?

 

[phillybarbour]

That’s a big van, looks great.

Not legally it won't. Get caught and will get fined at best, vehicle confiscated potentially.
