Can you guess what it is yet.

Yep cost me £70 from very low on super. Measured first tankful very accurately and got 24.8 mpg for mainly motorway driving with a few exploratory sortees to see what she went like. Apparently 18-20 around town and 28-30 at legal (remind me what that speed is again) cruising. As with any turbo car the economy nose dives if you drive constantly on boost. I don't have to use a car to commute on a daily basis so the economy side isn't a huge issue for me.

My new runabout is a Citroen C2 diesel. The main driving pleasure is achieving over 70 miles to the gallon at a steady 70ish mph

And I always stuck up for you when the others said you were a tight bar steward Rupert! You could always move up the range to a C5 - by Sinclair!

Its the JDM version of the Lexus GS300 - the big difference is that in Japan this version is fitted with the twin turbo lump from the Supra. Its big and its heavy but surprisingly agile, that engine is unbelievably smooth and once your moving it flies. And the build quality is fantastic, its 11 years old yet everything feels and works like new - just like my Quadra!!

A hell of a lot of car for £2200, a bargain me thinks, 5 series alpina - how wrong could I be!
