Nice machine! I forget how to post a photo but here's a video my son made on my Dodge M882 US Army 4x4 Jeep. It's a 1977 communications model with 32,000 miles on the clock. I've had any rust done on it since this and it's also been cleaned up inside as well but it's still in Camouflage

That's fairly hefty with mostly motorway mileage. In the 735 I was averaging 15mpg urban but could manage 30mpg motorway with cruise @ 80mph. Most I ever fitted in to the tank was €140 when petrol was up near €1.70.
Yeah same enough for my 735i. Most I ever fitted in to the tank was €98 when it was completely empty. At €1.19 per litre though
Nowadays a fill up for my modestly engined 520i with a small enough tank costs over €100

Very nice! Is the rolls yours as well?0 -
It's really upsetting filling the tank these days alright... My 1.6 Passat takes just north of €100 to fill, and the 740i.....Well, I haven't had the balls to fill that up yet. It'd feel as if I was spending my kids inheritance, too sad 0

Do you mind if I ask you what sort of mileage you get for that Passat and what year is it? and is it City driving or Motorway...
I'm actually going to see a Passat tomorrow, that would help me.
Thanks0 -

If you need me I'll be out doing massive luxurious donuts.
Work them hard and you'll need new tyres before Christmas
If the money is tight, get some high quality part worns. Will cost you €50-€80 per corner balanced and fitted. Well worth it!"Make no mistake. The days of the internal combustion engine are definitely numbered" - Quentin Willson, 1997

It is actually incredibly boring filling a barge, the removal of pump locks is an absolute pain in the arse, particularly when the the filler cap doesn't fit neatly in the gap as a replacement.
I'm actually revelling in my turbobrick, it "only" takes around ninety quids worth.
And on a cold and or wet day it's a real pain in the face! One more reason I changed to burning oil 0 -

Yeah I know what you mean about the diesels, a friend of mine Cecil O'Connor of Lambe & O'Connor said to me last week that "fellas used to be saying their car could do 0-60 in 6 seconds but now they're saying my car will do 48mpg" It's just the way the world has changed especially here in Ireland, thanks to big oil companies and of course The Green Party with their emissions tax!
Thanks for liking my truck, I couldn't give up burning petrol altogether and it burns plenty!!0 -

Indeed!
And to give people some perspective:
2013 - 7 year old mid to high end 7-series at a very good price: under €6k (this one)
2003 - 7 year old mid to high end 7-series at a very good price: under €12k (bought one myself - similar Mercedes S-class went for about €20k back then)

which was a manoeuvre that I'd never have taken in the CL.
Why not? V8 petrol CL is at least as capable in mid range acceleration as a 4 pot diesel C-class, I'd have thought? "Make no mistake. The days of the internal combustion engine are definitely numbered" - Quentin Willson, 1997

There's not much that would stay with the CL on the straights but I'm talking about the handling, the C250 Sport is just so much easier to throw around a corner, it's a case of you having to have been there on the particular bend I passed the artic truck on!! Trust me I wouldn't have squeezed the CL around let along hold the bend at speed.0 -

E65 7-series, low mileage for age, NCT (only a few months but still), Decent spec, all for less than 3 grand.
In fact this is very close to bangernomics territory!

I'll take your word for it. You do realise that overtaking in a hairpin bend is not advisable?

Sorry if its a repost.
Failed the NCT. Seller should have stated what it failed on. Ad fail too "Make no mistake. The days of the internal combustion engine are definitely numbered" - Quentin Willson, 1997

This would be on my driveway if insurance wasn't an issue.0
