--- Quote from: DavidA on May 06, 2015, 07:10:35 AM ---Loply, But I'd settle for a 1980s Mercedes 300D with the five cylinder Diesel. They run on anything. Dave. --- End quote --- A man with good sense. I have 2 W123 5 cylinder mercs, A 300TD and a 300D both of which still drive like a limo should and average 30mpg at 100kph. Towing my teardrop camper with the 300TD from Brisbane Qld to Pt Augusta recently I averaged 30mpg while sitting on the highway speed of approx. 70mph (110 kph) without a problem and needing the a/c all the way. Try that with your petrol cars of the same size and weight. The best part is the cost of the 2 vehicles was 1 carton of Coopers sparkling ale, a locally brewed drop :D and they will most likely see out my driving days Pete |

Pete, ..The best part is the cost of the 2 vehicles was 1 carton of Coopers sparkling ale, a locally brewed drop.. Not even Fosters ! You did well. Dave :beer: |

I'm converted , we do need something cleaner than the diesel engine. Maybe this: |

Nah, clean steam engines, not old dirty ones like those (except for the occasional spectacle). But not in vehicles, either. At least not in our winters here! :lol: :lol: |

I want to try that this year! http://www.absteamtrain.com/ Of course I'd probably start off with these :D they are about 1/2 hour from us. http://www.ironhorsepark.net/index.shtml |
