geting new car today

[weedmaster]

i'm getting a new car today a vauxhall astra sri 1.9l diesel,with vxr styling body kit and 18" rims,it's not brand new it's 6 months old works out £5000 cheeper than a new one, changeing to a diesel, never had one befor but was pleasently surprised with the performance when switched to sport mode. i'm going to be sad to see my 2 year old ford focus st in bright orange go, but with the credit crunch and the amount of miles i do the st at only 20mpg (£4.50 a gallon in uk) has to go, i have just given it a final mad drive round a big carpark, the brakes were smoking when i got out of it well the whole car was smoking after that big fat joint i just smoked in it:jointsmile:

Good for you weedmaster, proud of ya! Thanks for giving me a chuckle this morning!! What kind of mileage does that translate up to in mpg's??

Is the better mileage actually due to the diesel?

Man, I gotta try some more TW, it didn't do that to me last summer!

Enjoy your new toy! PR :thumbsup: :jointsmile:

40 mpg it does, diesels are great for fuel economy, they use to be very sluggish but now they are alot quicker,it's not a fast car buts it not slow either, just picked it up done 0-60 mph in 7 seconds but once i find the best revs for pull away will do it a bit quicker:jointsmile:
