Are these really that horrid on fuel?

Nick

they aint that great pretty thirsty but guess it depends on how loud you like to press the noise pedal, i dont miss the £70 a wk v-power fuel bill that came with the R32  :grin:

Yeah its surprised me just how good they are, hasnt let me down ever and is great in the winter

worst is obviously fuelling it but everything else is decently priced and they are pretty straight forward to work on
the exhaust note is pretty addictive! But with most the tinworm is starting to kick in :(

@barry - that wagon looks like itd fairly shift, what all was done to it?
