    When I read last month you were buying a 500bhp V8 I was convinced you'd ordered one of the new mustangs! Best of luck with the new truck!

    We are running at 46 tonne now and up and down hills/mountains every day so every one of the 500 is needed. There is plenty yokes going up and down the m7 that could manage away with 3/4 of the power they have !
    The 143 was a icon !

    This is my BMW. There are many like it, but this one is mine. My BMW is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life. My BMW, without me, is useless. Without my BMW, I am useless. I must drive my BMW true......

    Very impressive looking truck. I hope she brings you many years of trouble free and profitable service. The cabin looks like a very pleasant place to spend a working day.

    On the subject of work vehicles and fuel consumption figures, I'm afraid that I am going to have to see your 5 to 6 mpg and raise you......

    2500 litres per hour or 42 litres per minute!!!

    Whats that working out at 1mpg?

    Give or take a few miles per hour - you are doing approx 10 miles per minute? Using 10 gallons per minute?

    Pretty close.

    It would depend a lot on headwinds and tailwinds, but roughly, 8 statute miles per minute burning 9.2 imperial gallons per minute = 0.87 MPG.
