So finally made the hard decision to part with my fullfat dream car. I will get it back to mine where it will get a full valet and check over its been stored at my mates place outside the ulez iv been driving out in my ulez car using the fullfat outside the zone then swopping again to come home.
Fully rebuilt engine as documented on here in my ownership along with everything else iv done.
If anyone is seriously interested please pm to discuss price etc.
M62 v8 petrol on lpg fully working I'm lucky enough to be able to get lpg at 89ppl
 
What a massive pain in the arse mate u having to do that

That’s one thing these numbnuts don’t understand it’s all the endless amount of hours u spend getting them in tip top condition

Know if I could afford it would move to the middle of the countryside miles away from towns etc

Mpg is pretty much the same as on petrol to be honest I stopped checking soon after I got use to the car and just filled it up with lpg when it needed it. Starts on petrol switches over when it's ready and it's never missed a beat.
Conversion was done by the previous owner at a then registered local to him installer.

Iv become a bit of an expert on these my self now and I can't fault the instalation .
I'm sure my previous posts will have loads of info but I'm happy to sort out all the docs and upload some new photos once I have them

If you live in London, your property will be worth a lot more than our country properties.
Plenty have moved into our village, the people who bought our old house, moved from a 2 bedroom flat into our 3/4 bedroom semi.

I’m in Kent but 1 x mile away from the ulez zone in Sidcup

Talking of prices I would buy a house with some land in north wales , whilst looking as u do 🤣 I saw a 3 bed house with a 75 x 50’ workshop for 100k

Perfect size for a few landies and a 4 x post lift , nice to dream 🤣

I'm outa London I mean on the very edge country side proper here. But inside the ulez tax zone. I'm sure I could sell up BUT my work is here my elderly mother is 10 mins away we look after her. My boys who will never be able to afford to rent here let alone buy here are settled in there jobs.

So we're staying put for now as crap as it is we've now got ulez cars but losing my L322 after all my hard work just like my P38 I fully restored is pretty gut wrenching.

Dream workshop
 
No no no I just can't do it......iv worked out a route from my mates place to mine avoiding ulez cameras and out again avoiding ulez so instead of going there and driving it away from the zone it's comming home for its full valet check over and I'm keeping it for now to use as my shooting car again come pheasant season. And other runs out from the zone.

It means an extra 20 miles or so on my journey but what the hell. The lpg garage is right out of the way in Strood any ways so some nice trips out in the beast.

Thanks for all the interest let's see how things go.
 
So no payment taken on the auto pay so far for ulez. Looks like my route in and out should be good so it's comming home it's comming home........
Got to make permanent room on the driveway or leave it on the road.....
