    At those speeds, I would be getting something with a bit more grunt, maybe 320cdi.It will be the same as fuel as the engine wont be working so hard at 160kmh etc

    Thoughts on one of these yokes? Comfy and quick I hear, with a large fuel tank.

    Would love to but:

    1. The road tax is € 441 - 479 per Quarter (Depending of what part of the Netherlands you live in)

    2. You can't get an 2004/2005 E320 for under 20k unless its a Hypermiler (over 200K)

    Ho-Ho, that's interesting, that's even more than here !!

    Ode To The Motorist

    “And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, generates funds to the exchequer. You don't want to acknowledge that as truth because, deep down in places you don't talk about at the Green Party, you want me on that road, you need me on that road. We use words like freedom, enjoyment, sport and community. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent instilling those values in our families and loved ones. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the tax revenue and the very freedom to spend it that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a bus pass and get the ********* ********* off the road”

    Thats nice ! ...

    Looking around theres a good choice too ... although finding one without the fake wooden dash seems a bit hard tho.

    Am I right in saying this uses the Ford 2.2 TDCI Mondeo Engine ?


    Edit:

    Seems to get a fairly rubbish review tho :/

    Aha, found another review you're correct. 2.2TDCI it is. Interestingly, it'll do seventy mph using less than 2000rpm in sixth gear. Full spec here;
