    If people are going to moan about your vehicle, at least give them something proper to moan about.

    Nice coat of black paint, polished chrome trim, some "enhancements", and you're away ! Sorted !
    £7500 +VAT sounds like a good deal

    Wonder what the road fund licence is likely to be?
    How fortunate for governments that the people they administer don't think

      Runs on diesel doesn't it - get it converted to run on vegetable oil, and you could be really eco-friendly in that. May not have to pay the congestion charge either

        My vehicle doesn't guzzle gas, it guzzles petrol. My boiler on the other hand, does guzzle a fair bit of gas. Do I need to pay extra congestion charge if I ever take my boiler to London?
        Will work inside IR35. Or for food.

          It depends of whether you drive her there by car, or if she takes the train.
          Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

              Well I might be missing my landcruiser back in Perth just a little...
              but I had the same opinion while I was in Perth. Friggin soccer mums that can't steer a shopping trolly driving around in 4x4 troop carriers that will never in their life get any kind of mud on them.

                Ahh, women in 4x4's, now that's a different issue. They can't drive them properly (driving down the middle of a two-lane road doesn't count - if you don't know how wide your car is you shouldn't be driving it) and they can't park.
                His heart is in the right place - shame we can't say the same about his brain...

                  How about this for an urban run around?

                    No need for conversion, you should be able to run it on straight veggie oil as is. Mix it 50/50 with diesel in winter to avoid low viscosity problems and you're away.

                      Veggie oil has lower viscosity than diesel so fuel pumps struggle unless a fuel heater is installed
