Citroen C4

I think that's the problem

I haven't had a drink for over 2 weeks now and it's beginning to get to me. Normally by this time on a Friday night that post would have looked like a work of genius.

 

Nope, not heard that one

But she did once offer to "get me a carry out while picking up her messages"

 

RE: It's French

it's doing my head in, put &pound;56 quid in, not even 3/4 full</p>

 

Typical Glaswegian lass

a "chib" is a sharp object usually a blade which will assist said Glaswegian rendering a fellow Glaswegian defenceless

 

Really?

My lovely 1.2 takes a whole £38 to fill and will do 300 motorway miles.

 

RE: It's French

That'll be the taxes. They're much higher in France than in the UK. It's because we've got to pay for Sarko's alimony and platform heels.

You can probably fill in half a dozen forms and get that 1/4 of a tank back under the Common Agricultural Policy or something. That's what they all do over there.

 

Its got a 60 litre tank so it will cost about £65 to fill from empty



Should have got a LPG conversion, Gas tank holds 70 litres @47.9p a litre= £33.53 to fill , its lovely and cheap motoring

 

There must be an answer to that

But back to the car petrol tank thingy.

I would advise the new owner to fill up more often, without waiting until the tank is empty. It is far cheaper that way. For example, if it costs £65 to fill up, if you fill up when half empty it will only cost £32.50 - a saving of 50%. That is a fantastic saving for the minimum of effort.

This principle can be extended to reduce the cost of filling up to almost nothing, but not many people like to spend their entire lives on a petrol station forecourt.

 

Even better

If you invest in a load of jerry cans you pull over at each layby and fill up for free.

 

One's 1.4 Nissan (built in Sunderland-like) has a 40 litre tank and can still be brimmed for just under &pound;40.</p>

As it's a Citreon, check for holes first.</p>

 

Re: holes

Another good point. There's normally 2 above the e for a start.

 

Re: holes

I have a non-EU compliant keyboard.</p>

Keep the pound an all that...</p>

 

If the holes are in the tank

It'll make a hole in your forty quid.

 

I have a painful memory . . .

. . . of standing in a second-hand car showroom in France saying "Citroen" over and over again while the salesman tried to work out why I would want to buy a lemon.

In the end I gave up and bought a Toyota.

 

Boom! Boom!

I thought you were going to bed.

 

Nope

Just opened another bottle. Big game tomorrow you know got to get into the spirit of things.

I know it's difficult for you teetotallers, but I 'm sure you know what I mean

 

RE: I have a painful memory . . .

Nice smooth ride Citreons with two holes over the O, although I've heard the electrics on them can be a bugger.</p>

Fancied a C2 at one time, although the one in the showroom had only done 40-odd thou and all the internal silver plastic trim had worn off and turned white. S) </p>

 

Shoulda bought german!

Audi s4 avant, thats the way forrad! 4.2 v8! Mmmmmm (dribble)

 

Vorsprung durch Technik

Einmal Audi immer Audi!

 

Must have been a forgery

Holes were in the wrong place. That's why it was substandard, probably.
