I put around 1000 miles on it last year. Diesel's $3 a gallon here at the minute so a 30-gallon tank takes a bit out of the wallet. I'm planning some long range fishing trips in the next few years so I'm looking at the Subaru Outback. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm at the stage where I need to renew the suspension and the brakes throughout but it's still more comfortable than a series landy! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's on the original automatic gearbox which was set up for when the national speed limit was 55mph. It'll do about 65mph flat out but I don't do that often because stopping it takes longer than the typical supertanker! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
