JanG, yup I got it LOL, my missing car was a FORD, XR4x4i, family sized permenant 4 wheel drive 3.0Litre V6 uprated Sports everything! there is not much out there on the market that I can afford that will come close to that! my budget is realy what I got from the insurance, which was nice, but there is nothing actually on the market that comes close to the XR, except Jeep style stuff, and I can't afford one! so for now its something that comes close to my XR. I got 24mpg around town in the XR and 35mpg on the motorway, long jounreys, so the mileage was excellent for a big car, replacing it will not be easy, but the scorpio (Ford granada Scorpio) is about the only thing that does it, and if I can fild one, they come in 4x4!

1 imperial gallon = 4.56 liters 1 U.S. gallon = 3.7853 liters thanks Bill, and courtesy of www.XE.com a "live" currency converter,: 1.00 GBPUnited Kingdom Pounds = 1.46854 USDUnited States Dollars 1 Litre of Petrol (we have to pay in litres!) is 80p to 90p depending on the type of petrol, there are 100p in a GBP, if you wanna work that out! its midnight here and too late for my brain to be taxed! at 80p per litre its £3.65 per imperial gallon ($2.48) I think! I will have to find my conversion table to exchange the gallons over and its way too late for me tonite! at 90p per litre its £4.10 per imperial gallon Mellie IBSSG How Come My Coat Of Arms has Ties At The Back?
