Mistaken automotive beliefs

[59Impala]

The Daimler SP250 sports car is always referred to as the Dart despite never being badged as such.

I try to fill up at ASDA even though it is 8 miles away and I go past a few garages on the way. They are about 4p a litre cheaper, but when you are putting over £100 of fuel at a time that trip is worth it especially when I need to go shopping somewhere anyway.

Surely Fortnum and Mason deliver too?

They do, I used to have their teabags and cake sent to me at work to annoy my old boss. (I had to go down to the stores to collect them)

Selling a car for profit on the beige makes you more of an evil capitalist tory than Jacob Rees-Mogg.

“I bought a diesel for the fuel economy”

Usually said to me by someone who lives 5 minutes away from work and seldom goes anywhere else.

Like my old boss who'd drive miles endways to save a penny a litre on fuel.

My grandfather used to do that in his Jag.

I've often used mine for weekenders where we have full accomodation (chalets, caravans and the like). Be suprised how many times a vehicle containing your own clean bedding, cutlery and utensils has proved essential. It also gives us a good break on the way home - instead of scuttling off at 90mph just to push clothes into a washing machine and unpack a car we've taken 10-12 hours to do 150 miles. NOT because slow either! Just stopping off at a beach, riverside or nice town without being robbed by coffee shops and bistros.

This is exactly what I want one for. Not so much the sleeping in but the some where to sit, make a drink etc that you might do on a day trip.

I love that idea myself. If I had the space and the spare cash I’d keep a day van of some sort for this kind of thing.
One of my chums is a regular drone flyer and one of his group used to bring a camper with him when they went somewhere for the day so they had somewhere sheltered to have a cuppa.

The Sunbeam Tiger was named as such because you can fit a set of golf clubs in the boot and it offers fuck all crash protection.

Took me a bit to get that.

Me too it's a good 'un.
BTW the latest Viz has an absolute corker in 8 ACE - I really pissed myself at the dénouement that I didn't see coming but should have.
