For I have sinned!

Been looking at LTs and appear out be the winning bid on a Sven Hedin on the bay of fleas, oooops

Hopefully I won't win it as petrol is the work of the devil (sorry Hutch).

Any advice,ideas or abuse about LTs as I don't have a clue but am hankering after one. I guess a TD is the way forward.

What do I need to know?

Not to worry, it will be turned into a Ferrari look alike and sold within 2 months anyway (or Hutch will steal it, cut the back off to make a DOKA and fill it full of junk).

Since you are a fettler Elvis, D24TD or D24TIC are the ones to get. Believe me a NA D24 is slow, though very steady.

Having said that, if you are not bothered about speed or the motive fuel, LPG would help your wallet out when filling up.

Only 1 day and 19 hours left until a trip to Merseyside, and a slow potter back home.

?Have you booked a week off?Wink

Not me, £4k is a bit spendy for what I am looking for.

Eyes peeled for a TD van, cheap and cheerful so I can put my own stamp on it

The main saving with lpg is in the price it's about half that of petrol.
Most carbs are a bit worn so you can save even more.
