Hey'all....

Just a quick post from the sunshine state! So many vehicles to post in the daily encounters thread at some point, seen everything from Vipers, Chargers (our courtesy car), Shelby GT350s, 500s, Tangs, F350s, F150s, etc. Loving it...

Oh, and the cost of fuel? Well, I chucked $40 in the Charger which is circa. 70 litres, I make that around 0.40p per litre

On a side note, how much am I loving the new Jag XJ? That just looks simply amazing.

Hope you're all well

Hi there.

What are you making of the charger? I rented the base spec 2.7V6 a while a go and it was slow as. I hope you have the 3.5, it's supposed to be much better.

Just watch out for an oil light on the dash!

You have a courtesy car? Did you crash?

I'm over here too. Got me a Chevy Impala to ride about in.

That was at an Exxon petrol station in Alabama (IIRC) last week.

Looking at the receipts the average was nearer $3 but yeah that's rather cheap!

Lolwut??

If I'm honest, the charger sucks, its the 3.5 v6, last of a bad bunch as our flight going out was delayed. It takes off ok with a great sounding engine but very little happens. You look at the speed and you're doing 40!! It's also a very lazy revving engine, more so than the 530d. Seen very very few bmws.

@Nathan, yeah, that's about the same price we're paying.

Loving the I4 with its 70mph limit, lol.

Thought it was quite clear to me, why do you have a courtesy car?

A courtesy car is something you receive when your own car is in for repair?

Fr0dders · 15 Jun 2010 at 22:50

stop being pedantic fox you know he means hire car :rolleyes:

[TW]Fox · 15 Jun 2010 at 22:54

A hire car is something you pay for, it is therefore the polar opposite of a 'courtesy' car

Begbie · 15 Jun 2010 at 23:11

Lol Fox.

Filled up the Impala today. $2.56 a gallon and it cost less than £25 to brim it from nearly empty.

It took me a while to figure out what on earth you were banging on about until I just noticed it in the OP!

I never saw it any cheaper than $3

Out of interest why do you keep spelling it Californee?
