but Ian, your not ready yet! have you turned to drink? Spent many many hours reading a Haynes? Done numerous trips from home to srap yard and back!
what you bought then? Aidens GS? maybe a DS (now that would cripple you in every way thinkable,! Mentally, physically and financially!)?

Have bought nothing. I've just run out of money! And time. The BX has loads of little things that need attention and I just haven't been able to do any of them or even find time for Stinkwheel to do them!
I've decided I don't need two eccentric cars. The 2CV is enough. Just need something bland and dependable as Car number two. And maybe cheap to run although I've got my eye on stuff with V6 engines - TWO cylinder heads to go wrong and monster cambelts and fuel bills! Perhaps not.

noooo, not a vectra! Thats my last resort car! When the BX had a funny turn and the weather was bad I ended up going to the isel of man in my dads! (new one just ordered - another vectra!) didnt realise it had no tax until I got home and it had an mot!
Suppose one thing about the new one is fingers crossed it will have a towbar and since it weighs about 18tons should tow anything if slowely!

I know, but a 16V, mmmmmmmmmmm! Trouble is, realistically speaking, the running costs may be out of my meagre budget. I can justify the Tizzy D as it`s performance is as good as it`s economy!yangreen wrote:Cavmad - you can't get rid of the Tizzy D already!
Although it does sound tempting...

Vauxhall apologist.
Besides fuel - would a 16 valve really cost much more than a TZD turbo? Overall they seem to be remarkably tough and we don't seem to get any particular problems with the engines or anything else coming up on these boards.
tax is the same - insurance may be a problem - then its fuel consumption - which of course is going to be a 3rd or more greater - but what that will really cost depends of course on how far you go in it.
Mind you I love diesels as I can drive miles and it seems to cost virtually nothing. I suppose overall my DTR Turbo uses 1/3 to 1/2 less than my Renault 21 (1.7) did - but things are a bit nearer on long runs.
