    There's a hell of money spent on convincing people they have less in common than they actually do.

    Road trip to Angoulême in France, in a French EEstate, come back with cheese. Bonus challenge: You are not allowed to refridgerate the camembert, but can use air con. Drive back to somewhere in England, then give it a sniff test. Freshest cheese wins. Or go to one of those villages on the French River where they offload barrels of Beaujolais noveau and have a rally to get it back to England.

    if a car is parked outside a house i am more inclined to buy it because they are advertising where they live..if its on a rough piece of ground im put off

    My Dad used to drive a Taxi 405 which had the 1.9 N/A engine. It was on over 300k when it finally broke. The car regularly had 4 people in it, other drivers would bounce it up kerbs, wheel spin, etc. The engine had a small water leak and my Dad would top it up regularly. One day, another driver got in the car and he never topped it up, causing the engine to overheat and break.

    One of my mates had one, he ran it on cooking oil for years, he was my eco warrior hero for that, but especially for sticking two fingers up to customs and excise. Even using new cooking oil was cheaper than the pump prices

    We had 3 of these diesel estates for work back in the day. They did mega mileage. Once all the excess trim had fallen off there was a solid car underneath.

    Hi Geoff, Try a challenge that you can only top up the car from empty with a gallon at a time, I bet you still beat the Mcmaster
  • @paulie-Gualtieri.
    Excellent cars, fantastic fun to drive with tidy handling, with the bombproof engine. A video on cleaning it up would be good. It looks amazingly solid for 30 years old.

    Good buy Geoff. I had a Citroen BX with that same engine. 90 mph cruising all day and good economy.
