One answer to that question, insurance!mds141 wrote:Tom, seeing as you like big 4x4's, how about a Ford Explorer or a Chevy Suburban with a LPG conversion.
That's another case against shoulder demon two, i know. And the reason I wasn't going to have this car as a keeper. But (holds breath and closes eyes) a BX doesn't have to be a keeper, it's just more likely to be!
It's a lot of stop and start, so more wear mechanically than motorway driving. But I am certainly in no roaring rush to get where i'm going, the other guys bomb around like loonies (and get pulled by the police all the time ) whereas I stick to the speed limits and drive gently - because I care about my car, the amount of fuel i'm using and keeping my license! Don't get me wrong, I still manage to do as many, and in some cases, more deliveries than the other drivers.
EDIT: yep, trés sensible Sandre! I thought you was all growded up like? Mmmmm I did (foolishly and not seriously) consider a 2.1d manual XM, but insurance, maintenance and economy are all negatives in that case!
