    Liquefied Petroleum Gas.

    Propane or Butane, or a mix of both haha.

    we sell it here by weight in bottles, or volume for cars. It's a bit cheaper here still, but very few stations carry it. It's worthwhile if you do a lot of city driving or drive an old v8.

    We use it for heating and it costs about $100nzd per 45kg bottle (we have two at once) and that includes delivery and change fees.

    Not sure if I've posted this, but since my Ranger got wrecked a while ago I now drive this:

    1998 Ford Mustang GT 5-Speed. 4.6L Fuel-Injected V8. Handbrake doesn't work, but I don't need it ;)

    That image is of it the day before I got it. I've since removed the headlight covers, replaced the windshield and gotten new seats for it..

    I havent heard the term PB95. Seems to just be unleaded 95 octane petrol/gas though. £1.38 per litre is what I paid for it the other day, 1.63 euro's, but it has come down alot recently. It was £1.48/1.78 euro's not too long ago so a nice 10p saving is a plus \o/





    I drive a 2004 vauxhall corsa (might know it as an opel corsa elsewhere) with the silly 1.0 litre ecotech engine. Apart from hubcaps (previous owner trashed the factory set, replaced them, trashed the replacements, I replaced them when I got it and havent given them a single scuff since) this one is near identical:
    wasntme.jpg
    Mine does have a yellow scuff on the bumper and on the wheelarch, but I am not responsible for those, a yellow peugeot 107 is according to university CCTV, which is great but there are 4 of them in the same carpark and the plate wasn't picked up, none of them appear to have any scuffs on them (although 2 had work done recently). The bumper I won't be sorting, but the wheelarch damage is just the the black plastic trim so if I can find that online at a decent price I might replace that.

    Shortly after I got it some absolute idiot reversed into the drivers door in a carpark. I having never had an accident before and kind of panicking didn't take his license plate. Did get his name, an address and a phone number from him though and a good look at his arm tattoo. Name was legit (you can search it on instagram, takes you to a profile with a few pictures of the guy and his arm tattoo, which was his surname stylised in a particular way), phone number went straight to O2 voicemail, address was a real street, but number 84 on a street with less than 50 houses in, you can tell how legit that is. Got police involved, they actually contacted O2 and found that the number hadnt been active in over 6 months and was registered as somewhere in devon, I live nowhere near devon, neither does this guy, so it was probably pure fluke that his made up number actually was a real number at all. After several months of back and forthing they have found the guy, found his insurer, my insurer has been in court with his insurer and thats still ongoing. Accident itself was june 4th. My insurer believe I have the perfect case and that we won't lose (his insurer is denying all responsibility for a man reversing into a car...), but so far the case is still in court, my insurer have just paid out for the damage, got the car back on thursday nicely fixed, they are going to try and get the £1000 bill back from the other guys company :p They have sent me *in writing* confirmation that no matter what, they believe I was not at fault so even if they lose the case somehow my premiums will not be going up and I will keep my no claims discount.

    I have a Dodge Dart GT. A little bit older than what I assume you are looking for. Only about 46 years of difference. Mine is a 1967 Dodge Dart GT 273 4BRL V-8 currently being restored. Of course one is a "compact" muscle car and the other a compact fuel efficient car.

    If I were you, I'd keep the money and stick with the Passat as it's better than a Dart.

    EDIT: Unless you're talking about a 60s Dart. In which case, GET ONE.

    I want in on this:

    My first car, 2001 Outback. Base level 2.5 H4, automatic, and a bleeding head gasket. Lasted me through high school, taught me all I know about how cars work, and never left me stranded, despite the fact that <misc. suspension component here> would keep wearing out. Sold it in my first year of university to a retired mechanic looking for a hobby, found it on craigslist and bought it back last year (from the same guy) to replace the Volvo. Bonus: <misc. suspension component here> got replaced when I bought it back. The head gaskets are still bleeding, but everything else got fixed.
    WP_000162.jpg

    This was my '99 S70, 2.4 N/A 5-speed. Loved it for all 7 months that I owned it, then the clutch went asplode. Terrific car, but more money than I was willing to spend, considering it wasn't a T5 or the V70. I eventually found a perfect 5-speed V70 T5 in the dark blue that I wanted...being scrapped at the junkyard I was working at last summer. After a brief moment of rage and sadness, I finished up my break and resumed my job of yelling at people.

    As of several hours ago, I'm back from my local Ford dealer, still contemplating leaving a deposit on a brand new 2013 F-150 on their lot. It's an XLT SuperCab, 2WD, with the 5.0 V8 and tow package. Like the one below, but fewer options. If I got it, it'd be partly to celebrate the fact that I'm joining the RCAF as a pilot, and mostly so I can retire my Outback into a rallycross car after 400,000km of faithful service.

    I am currently driving a 1998 Pontiac Sunfire 2 Door Coupe. It is a 5 Speed Manual. Only 122,588 miles. Basically one owner. The car is in very good condition and I have owned it for just over a month. It only has a few problems/issues.

    - Needs new brakes all around (right now it's basically metal on metal)
    - Parking brake will not engage (broke it getting it unstuck)
    - Rear speakers only work in hot/warm temperatures. (Wire issue? really annoying not having rear speakers now that its October/November)
    - Rust in the door jams

    That is about it. I basically was never going to buy this car. My friends parents used to own this car and bought it for their son when he got his temporary license. But they only drove it a few times before they parked it in their garage in September of 2012. After that my friend never got his license and the car sat unregistered in his garage for about a year. It was back in August 2013 when my friend was having his high school graduation party. This is one of those friends who you hang out with a lot, but never really go to their house much. I was surprised to see that they STILL had the car just sitting their. I went up to him jokingly asking if he would sell me it. He said that his parents were actually looking to get rid of it since they haven't used it at all and he could use the money for collage. Then, in late September, I called his parents and asked if me and my dad could look at the car. It had a really old battery from 2007 and it was dead. Like really dead. But we finally were able to get it running and it ran great. So then we bought it for just as much as they bought it for. $1500. And I can say I actually bought this car with my own money. I'm not some spoiled kid who gets whatever he wants. I work hard for my stuff and I know the value of a dollar.
