Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted September 11, 2013 Share It is one of the first ones.I got it after getting sick of damaging expensive cars doing daft things and I decided I would rather have a car that I didn't mind scratching and denting. Then the bugger went and grew on me and we have been all over the place in it.Currently costing me around R2.30 per km in petrol costs alone... so about 17l per 100. That's not that bad for that car. Honestly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marko35s Posted September 11, 2013 Share so about 17l per 100. That's not that bad for that car. Honestly!I drive like I have Miss Daisy in the back, and the numbers go mental when we hit a 4x4 trail in low range. I swear you can see the fuel gauge move, quite often faster than the speedo.That car is why we go camping a lot, by the time you get to your destination there is no money left for accommodation.Still love the thing though.

Lone_Ranger Posted September 11, 2013 Share Thanks for the assistance and feedback guys. I've sort of accepted that I'm going to have to get a new pair of sunglasses To build on the hijack, one of the guys here at work has an older model Toyota Land Cruiser, 4.5 petrol. He claims to get 350km from a 75 litre tank on the rough stuff. His secondary fuel tank (another 75 litres) is a non-negotiable. Loves it to bits though.

Filling it up is rage inducing.Sorry for the hijack but I thought it might get more people to look and possibly help. I'm a misguided individual.

Grebel Posted September 11, 2013 Share So we've realised that the sunnies are a thing of the past... Have you contacted your insurance? Depending on the cost of course, they should be covered by your unspecified all risks. Lone_Ranger 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lone_Ranger Posted September 11, 2013 Share Didn't think of that. I will get in touch with them. Thanks Grebel. You might just have made my week. :thumbup: Grebel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
