Yeah, "functional" is probably a kind description....although he did kindly leave most of the Brent Field in the car park as a thank you "Better to remain silent and be thought a fool,than to speak out and remove all doubt" ?.....what rubbish...

I spoke to the owner....a mad Danish bloke who stores it in Newcastle, and comes over and tours the West coast of Scotland in it......
He reckons he gets about 10mpg, I reckon he got his fuel gauge from a Land Rover.....I very much doubt he's getting 10mpg out of that....."Better to remain silent and be thought a fool,than to speak out and remove all doubt" ?.....what rubbish...

Its quite possible to get 10mpg, modern trucks at 44 ton can do better than 10mpg which in my mind makes all modern cars look truly crap on fuel.
