Would love a truck but running it would be costly the Astra is 30 quid a year road tax! Only thing lacking is can't really fit a terrier box and the lurchers In the boot 2 Quote Link to post

neil cooney 10,416 Posted April 26, 2016 Report Share Posted April 26, 2016 Dog van is an old Vauxhall combo 1.7 diesel. 50mpg no problem. Had one for years ,a great van. It was an ex Guinness reps van so had air vents on the roof, side and floor. Out hunting one day a fellow said to me after I came out of a field that he might get rid of his jeep and get a Combo, LOL. It was true though, I got it into most places. Quote Link to post

dogmad riley 1,347 Posted April 26, 2016 Report Share Posted April 26, 2016 (edited) Subaru forester on lpg, very cheap to run 300 miles for £30. Good on road and great off road. I Would never have another vuaxhall vectra as long as I live, they break more than they run.
