I feel LTA's only problem is, they are a teenage lass with a thing for pirouetting dark men, and doesn't realise it takes more for us sad middle aged bastards to get excited. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I had a TTS then a plain TT but they were pointless for the amount of driving I do. I've got a Q2 now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gen X start around 1962/64 depending on where you are from, although anyone born in the 80s in Queensland is still a fucking boomer, so the early X's are now in their 60s. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toonpack 9377 Posted September 17 Share Posted September 17 My dog bus is a Kuga Vignale, mild hybrid. At my age I probably should drive a focus, which is a proper codgermobile but not practical just now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously not your dog, but have you seen the tech behind mild hybrids? Quite simple and amazed it took so long to be produced. It's just an electric motor providing a torque boost by engaging when you would use the most fuel, taking off/accelerating. They can make them with a manual gearbox. It's a 12V system with a small battery, so it won't go up like an inferno in an accident. And noneed to plug it in too charge, only for once it goes flat, you are dragging an extra 1000kg around, like with plug in hybrids, that don't have regenative capabilities. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do love the thing tbh, doubt I'll still have it when battery goes though. I get 64mpg on my runs to the caravan, that's over 10mpg over my old diesel kuga.

Gemmill 44790 Posted September 17 Share Posted September 17 I've got a mild Hybrid Focus but I only get 45 mpg. 50 odd was the best I could do on motorways. Is your caravan at the bottom of a very deep valley? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is your caravan at the bottom of a very deep valley? Uphill run a lot of it, up the 697. Used to get around 54mpg in my old Kuga diesel. I do a steady 60 these days because with the inevitable slow cunts and tractors I found it takes exactly the same time to get there as when I used to pile along at 85, takes an our an hour and a half no matter how fast I drive, (bit longer now given Scotland is 20 mph in built up areas) plus it's much more fuel efficient and we pensioners must watch the pennies. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FYP The slow codger cunts drive small red cars as a rule, and do 40mph. In my old Beemer 5SE I once had a "wonder how fast it'll go" moment, I got up to 128 mph on the A1, touched the gas a bit more and the fucking thing pushed me in the back like I was going from 50-60, at which point I bottled it.
