My maths is perfect.....ummm....i think.... :) realisticly, she does about 33mpg, sometimes more sometimes less which i think for my wee veccy is pretty darn good.Got tiny tyres on her though, as im sure that will have an effect on it plus with all seats filled by bums that will drag it down a bit..so i guess that if it was just me in the car doing a nice long run....i reckon i probably could get a way lot more out of her (thats if my foot doesnt suddenly become made of lead :16: )

well thats odd, i put in my old gals reg number and it says that she is a 110bhp..but i know she is a 115 :16: All that comes up with my veccy is that she is on the database.

Well my gas guzzling vectra does 67.99 recurring MPG!!, no idea how i worked it out but its true!!

Thankingoooooo.... :) Thought you were a bit quiet BK,...seatkid,why on earth have you been pulling your car into the garage??..thats the cheating way of getting yer MPG up! :16:

As far as i know, she is the intended ^_^

This has happened to me a few times, go to overtake, car im overtaking speeds up, if the road is clear i accelerate to get past and the other car matches my speed, i put it down to the car im overtaking either doesnt like being overtaken by a clapped out old banger like mine or doesnt like being overtaken by a female driver .To me, the car im overtaking is in the wrong by driving dangerously in not letting me either overtake or fall back in behind.My kids know that if i say hold on, it means im going to brake very quickly. Luckily ive never been confronted with a car coming the other way.

Hes still about every now and then.Last i heard he was getting wed sometime this month.

when you press add reply or fast reply, you will see a little yellow smiley face, click that and they will appear, click on the one you wish to use and it will appear next to where the black line is blinking, it will appear as code but when you post your reply it will be a little icon.

second time reading..yep..makes sense.When on intermittant, they whoosh across the screen like in fast speed, but there is a pause in between each wipe whereas in fast they dont pause just continuous..if i understood it right,

Ok guys, thread closed. Take it to debate.Bit more leeway in there if you wish to shout each other down.

Mod cap on Gents please try and keep this topic amicable.If it degenerates anymore it will be closed. MPG topics do get heated but i have no wish to see it turned into a slanging match.We each have our own opinions and each of us believe we are right in what we believe. If you wish to debate MPG then please use the correct section to do so, Mod cap off

Ok peeps, this little beut, well..not so little with an 80" wing span, is my project.I have bought the plans from America from the guy who designed and engineered her, and i will be building her myself. she is a Pteradactyl, she will take a while for me to build, one heck of a challenge to build, fly and land her safely.

A shop that sells em :ph34r: sorry, in a very pedantic mood today. Have you tried to see how much they are from fords?.

welcome unlob.....whats the name of your mate?..am curious to see how far our fame has spread.LMAO

Welcome Duncan, we dont bite (unless asked and we are alllways happy to oblige), so any probs you may have or think you have or most definately have then please happily ask away and we shall try our utmost to help you where we can, sometimes we may post a load of drivel, sometimes we argue over who is right and who is wrong, but hey, we try our best and have a laugh along the way. :2: Welcome to our happy place :ph34r:

Thanks everyone, :ph34r: Woofy, thanks for the sloppy kiss, want yer chewing gum back?? ;) No drinking this eve, too knackered. been a busy day so far.Will down a bottle tomorrow though. :P gotta admit..i could do with a :2: Been quite a different day today.

Hey, if it has wheels i can drive it :angry2: ST..Hmmmmmmmmmmmm...... Slow Tortoise????

does it come in metallic pink by any remote chance??....got a nice wee bank in the village just ripe to be raided. :angry2: :(

Thanks peeps, turn the numbers round then treble it..thats how old i feel today :D

Looks a very nice car, hope you enjoy it as much as you did the Gal. Glad you are sticking around.

That link was brilliant.. :D

Very true, its nice to be called a Lady every now and then and it certainly made me smile.

Im not going to rant, far from it. Lifes too short...more important things in life than MPG. By the way, thank you for calling me a lady, dont get called it very often..B1tch is usually what i get called.

You are right there chippie, way difference between a wee punto and a gal so to compair is very unfair, now i can see why you dispute gals getting over 50mpg coz yours doesnt gio.Maybe you should look to your car and driving style rather than say everyone else is wrong.

Since i own a gas guzzling veccy, i gotta say that i only bought it coz it was cheap, and cheap to insure.Im getting around 33mpg in her as i drive her the way i used to drive my Gal and i would get high 40.low 50mpg out of her.And i aint no conservative driver.I have lead foot syndrome every now and then. Havent done that many long runs in the vectra only a couple i think since i had her,but shes a gem to drive.Though i do miss the Galaxy an awful lot.Saving me pennies up for another.
