Sorry to be a bit of a bore but the cartoon does nought for me, bit garish, but if the majority like it then fine go for it.

Probably best with the grey, at least it will last longer rather than a white one which will yellow with time.

Tommy its not a fashion  statement its a bit of fun,you got the new motor phone me take/me you for a run

Has anyone checked if there is a fuel station over there? or should we all fill up before hand  I hate putting ?100 plus in at a time still can balance that with no passengers

good thinking batman. with the 90s small tank cuts the range a bit. managed to empty the tank in 200miles with that grr.....maybe should have stayed below 70 lol

YOU did pass me at speed poor Wendy thought it was a road train passing

should have given you ear plugs lol. it was running superb so couldnt just toddle along had to stretch the legs a bit

bit worrying its latest prices were in 2008.......maybe the diesel is past its sell by date by now
maybe best play safe and get a few gallons before the ferry

Too right Doug at least on w/e away you get a chance to make a noise except to those camping beside you F@@T SN@@RE

There is a filling station at Glencoe village with well stocked shop and one at Ballahullish just after the bridge.
 I am intending to contribute another ?100 to Tesco's in Perth and then top up at Glencoe village that should be good for the weekend for me.
This week I have filled the Disco up twice, suppose sleeping in on sunday and getting to the GRR did cost me dearly but the sound was fantastic, and last night in Inverness Tesco had no diesel for sale  so it was Morrisons at a cheap price of 120.9 hence the large drink.

I filled a work vehicle in Aviemore on Tuesday - ?1.29 !!

SVO at 70p a litre starts to sound good !

whats SVO and where does one buy it

After John's comment I thought I would plug the post code for the Strontian Hotel into the Petrol Price check web site.

It came back "No petrol stations in this area"

Now that's a worry.

I think the Glencoe top up will be my chosen approach after filling to the neck at Aldi in Paisley.

Deisel in Greenock is at ?1 22.9 and thats Tesco, no competition so they charge what they like, theiving bar stewards

Straight vegetable oil. I've not tried it but theres a lot of folks who run older diesels on it...and another lot who warn of death and destruction if you do.
The other alternative is to make your own biodiesel. Fairly basic chemistry at room temperatures and pressures....you just need a shed ! The Govt even allow you to make 2500lt a year for personal use tax free. Might be the next thing on my list.

Yeah,I was overtaken by a certain 90 on the way to Bathgate..i was doing 70 to keep up with the damn thing and i was in the 110!! Goddess doesnt stand a chance does she!! Maybe i'll go at the back and i'll see you all there just in time for turning back for home!!

As for the fuel, i'll need to top up, further north but i carry spare fuel as my fuel gauge isnt the most reliable at present but that might change after her B&B stay ay Larbert!!

its ok guys i can run slower.....took an easy run back today 55/60mph....needed to save money lol
