How many miles is it ?
It runs fine. It definitely won’t be doing 8 mpg.

It’s about 240 miles, so I figure maybe £65 in fuel.
Just thought I'd quote that...
That doesn’t mean it’ll continue to run fine 😉

So how does it run and how many miles per gallon do you think it’ll do?
How about not having a sig at all?

Add 30% to that for when you boot it at every opportunity to wallow in the lazy torque and end up getting no more than 20mpg average ;)

If you do the maths, you’ll find I’ve already done that.

There’s nothing in the legislation about ‘essential journeys’ - you just can’t go out without a reasonable excuse, and collecting your car is a reason. It’s not like a sight-seeing trip to the beach. Not that I’ve seen a single police car on a couple of thousand miles of motorway trips in the last month.

The train would worry me more, except that I bet there’s nobody on trains. Can’t guarantee that of course.

It’s very simple maths:

Train ticket+fuel+waiting for breakdown recovery+overnight stay in random village+Overpriced little garage+hours queuing in supermarket queue because the pubs are closed to get food+getting corona

OR

Cost of transport+damage to fix when the transport company drop the car loading and unloading

Well all the stuff I've seen on the news shows empty trains. Assuming Rev would get in to Euston he'd only have to walk across to St. Pancras to get on the Thameslink to Brighton (my usual commuter train). My guess you'd have a carriage to yourself the entire journey.

:D I should say "assuming Rev would arrive into Euston from his local train station".

Given that I’ve started with Corona-like symptoms yesterday, I won’t be going anywhere for a while. Not that I’ve been anywhere in the last 6 weeks so fuck knows where I’ve picked up whatever it is that I’ve got.

Have you been washing your grocery shopping? Don't forget it can sit on surfaces for a while.

You've been watching Piers Morgan, haven't you? Those symptoms are catching.

Yeah - I've been wiping over the surfaces of the groceries I can, and washing fruit and vegetables etc .

On the one hand, the spoiler and wheels are suitably OTT and it's a nice colour. Probably sounds good too with that exhaust.
On the other hand it's £40k, pretending to be. a Turbo when it isn't, and has 124k on the clock.
Saying that, I've just clicked the link to see others for sale and £40k seems a bargain by comparison :shock:
