    Surely an oxymoron

    Take a fuel efficient car with a diesel engine, you can get 60 mpg out of it easy, then:

    Add loads and loads of extra weight.
    Give it a boxy unaerodynamic appearance
    Shove some huge energy sapping tyres on it
    Give it 4 x 4
    Put a fat blob in the drivers seat.

    Hey presto 25mpg.

    Good call

    We'll need to make a cardboard FA Cup and cover it in foil first. </p>

    If we do Southend, the 5th round Cup match if it's away. (Except that there London. Not driving down there for someCockney wideboyto kill us and nick the car)</p>

    is it safe ?

    And I don't mean street urchins 'watching' the motor neither.</p>

    Unlike Barnsley, where any car is safe in any street, natch.</p>

    Seems alright. Unlike certain new estates in Barnsley.</p>

    Car thieves should be birched.</p>

    I decided to do without a car

    Bought myself a nice mountain bike. Got it nicked within 48hours (double locked the works) so back on a car now

    You should get a bargain Diesel at Pentagon or Monty's. I have had the Amazon from new 5 years, will run forever the Colorado is a bit better on juice. Mine is 4.5litre and I get 27MPG.

    Tyres

    It not the fuel you need to worry about it the tyres, the factory fitted continentals only last about 17,000 miles and there does not seem to be many other harder wearing replacements
