Well I wish I never said I prefer manual, and it looks as if its 2 of us
against 100 others. As for fuel consumption, remember that I have a
different engine to all you other 80 owners and my consumption is great at
about 29mpg (records kept in litres/100km of course). Not bad for a 12 valve.
But I don't get above 90kmh most days except one short stretch of motorway
when I can get to 120 for about 3 km.
I use a low spec 'snooper' radar/gatso/laser detector from Halfords and its
great, especially with lasers as that is the most popular hand held gun
they use here. Only problem is signals from automatic shop door openers,
but I know when they are coming up in my scanner on my regular trips.
Luckily we have no gatsos - yet. But the local police find it easier to
hassle motorists than catch the real criminals here, cos the real ones have
a far greater firepower than they ! We had an EUFOR Peacekeepers arms
search of the house the other day cos they said that someone in the area
was discharging a weapon ! Well they should come round more often, like
every Saturday for the local weddings let alone the public holidays. But I
digress, sorry.
Cheers

'92 HZJ80 ex UN surplus in Bosnia - where, you taxpayers (incl me) may be
interested to know, since the peacekeeping force has changed from NATO led
to EU led. There is an influx of M class Mercedes with 'EUFOR' number
plates. Obviously a classier type of peacekeeper we have now ;o)
