spikes, did you make a mistake in the LPG cost? or is that the cost in SA? In Belgium cost/km on LPG is half of what the cost with petrol would be
btw: i believe that there is a HUGE difference in petrol world wide. We in Europe would have the best, so is told. But when club members went to Russia last summer, they did 8 liter / 100 km from Letvia on. In Holland, Belgium, germany and Poland that was 10-11 liter / 100 Km. Seems that in Europe fuel consumption is artificial rased (government rules?) Don't forget: we pay A LOT of taxes on fuel and the higher the consumption, the more taxes

:-/Jan when I looked at the conversion factor again, I have confused myself as well So I have removed the conversion from Eu to Rc Perhaps the Russian Km are shorter than in Belgium and Western Europe Cost per Km traveled now again included in sheet. It is a direct conversion of Eu rate to Rands at a rate of 1 Eu =R11.75

Conrad, what Ari doesn't say is that was with 3 people and luggage in a Niva they bought 72 hours before. Then what else he does not say is that on entering Venterburg the fifth gear promptly shot a tooth through the housing.

As a follow on to Ronnie's comment above Gunson offers a range of tools and the UK based firm lists online suppliers. I have e-mailed their sales manager for details of a RSA stockist if any www.gunson.co.ukSparky, your tester at R60 was a huge bargain Spikes

Yes I had one when Carb model cars were still the norm.
Gave mine to the buyer who bought my Suzuki SJ 410.
