cant justify doubling my fuel bill every month. Moving house is the only answer

buy a motor bike, you will have your power.

Tbh, I'd hate a noisy, thirsty, effort-using petrol for a daily. Diesel is so much nicer for that...quiet, frugal and effortless to drive...
But you can't beat a petrol for a bit of fun at the weekend lol.

Keep up lol, that was about 4 years ago! The Golf changed my opinions of diesels back in 2011 tbh. They both have their place.

RE: I've done 6 months! - Iceman299 - 04-01-2015
Thats why i have a hdi for daily use and a celica as a 'spare' car, not the fastest but it'll do

Nah not for a long while, owned the silver Golf TDi 9 months, and the blue Golf TDi 6 months, then had a couple of 306 HDis and the Vec CDTi, was nearly 3 years before I had a petrol daily again (1.8 306) and that wasn't for long tbf. Diesel daily ftw tbh.

I wouldn't worry about it, most people pay £300 a month on car finance before they even go near a petrol station, even though by the time the car is paid for it's worth a fraction of what they paid for it. Think of it that way, makes the 20mpg easier to deal with
RE: I've done 6 months! - swampy - 04-01-2015
This is why I have the saab ttid as a weekday family car
And
The rx8 for weekend blasting
RE: I've done 6 months! - procta - 04-01-2015
what cpikey needs is a piece of old school retro classic for a weekend car, plus he can take the wife and kids out in too!
RE: I've done 6 months! - cpikey316_ - 04-01-2015
Got a hankering for another Saab convertible.
Or a big engined Beemer so I can be a wanker...
RE: I've done 6 months! - Iceman299 - 04-01-2015
My celica costs the same to run as the hdi when i factor in insurance difference
RE: I've done 6 months! - 7057sam - 04-01-2015
V8 beemer FTW
RE: I've done 6 months! - Toms306 - 04-01-2015
BMW 850i would be awesome.... Cheap as well as no-one can fuel a V12 these days lol.
RE: I've done 6 months! - Eeyore - 04-01-2015
Some of us have small thirsty petrols...

RE: I've done 6 months! - Piggy - 05-01-2015
I miss my old combo
Ph1 XRDT for the proper comfy daily...
And a ZX6R 160mph 14,000rpm screamer for me and my obsession for noise and power!! (mind, the zx6r would do 45mpg on a run and never less than 35mpg on a hoon! And £40 a yr to tax and £25 a month to insure....hang on...why don't I have one again!!!?!)
