    That makes more sense, even though I have a 1965 Buick Wildcat that has a cut roof but with a soft top installed.

    I wish they had left it alone, it was a fast back.

    Too bad, but it probably still looks pretty nice...

    Oh, lol, sorry, I didn't even notice. I'm sure he meant 300ZX, as there has never been a 380 Z car.

    Not yet anyway. It looks like they are working up to that. Still a boring car though.

    In 1991 it would have been a 300zx.

    2001 VW Golf mk 3.5 Cabriolet 5 Speed 2.0L petrol engine...

    Clean MOT, long MOT, expires March 2018, no advisories it's all stock except for the Bluetooth CD player. Everything works, power steering, power roof, power windows, AC, everything. - It's my first car, I've had it since February 2016.

    Used car, I found it on the internet, bought it, and had it shipped across England with UShip!

    Anyvan let me down, hard, I lost my quote they gave me of £220 when my own window came and went and payment to me was delayed so I had to wait even longer for the car, and their price when I needed them was £475! then at the last second I found UShip! were operating in England, booked with them, they got the job done and I managed to save myself £50 using them - It's just a huge coincidence that Shipping Wars is one of my favourite television programs.

    I usually drive an old conversion van. It's great for going out and picking up girls at bars, clubs and parties. The back bench seat converts into a bed.

    My two-litre diesel does just a little short of double that. 72-74 to be precise.

    Too bad about the whole cheating thing. Greenies just don't like diesel though. I have a 3.0 liter that VW group will be buying buying back. Not happy about it.

    New Mazda 3. Hitting 40-43 on the highway.

    Used to have a Jetta diesel that got 50 on the highway and would go 600 miles on a tank,

    Amazing, huh? After a couple of months of driving the Honda is averaging just under 49 mpg, combined city and highway. Usually 55-56 in the city. For a heavy mid sized sedan, I think is good. I was at BMW getting another car serviced, and their new 530e is advertising 76 combined. I almost bought it.

    Of course my combined is worse but much better than the car I traded in at 20-21 and the one I kept with the same on the highway max. I just didn't want to deal with batteries that start deteriorating and need to be replaced around 100K otherwise, if I traded in regularly it would be attractive. I tend to keep my vehicles a long time. 262k on one, 150k on another.

    Nah, it's a contraction of "green" and "meanies". Hence "greenies". It's been around quite a while... Harder to find now that it's the commercial name for dog tooth brush chews...

    My favorite ride gets 8-10 mpg.

    I give you the 1976 GMC motorhome Eleganza II.
    A marvel of engineering.

    You should've, if you're lucky enough to be able to afford it. I was going to get the 320 hybrid but don't do enough mileage to justify the additional cost of it over the 320d.

    That's a beautiful machine for one so old; the latest ones must be like space ships, inside and out.

    And get the same mileage. The GMC has the lowest drag coefficient of all. You should watch the video, its pretty hilarious. They cover a Winnebago in a dress for the head to head challenges.

    Its front wheel drive which keeps the whole thing 14" off the ground with no incline internally to go around a drivetrain. The 2 rear axles are suspended against each other with an airbag, so it tacles railroad ties with no disruption in ride.[​IMG]
