Bye-bye LPG section

Boo-hoo, I soon won't have an LPG car

and will be defecting to the devils fuel section!

The baby made me do it - honest!

OK, now we've got a 1 month old child, I've realised that I can't get all the baby related clobber in the S60 boot. I've gone and bought a very cheap V70 to replace it (unfortunately it's a D5 engine).

The S60 bi-fuel will be going up for sale later today if I get my junk out of it. I always thought I'd be keeping it for years after I overhauled the LPG system.

You must have a lot of clobber... I know of tons of people with babies and much smaller cars. Some even have C30's without real issues.

Sounds like you love the car, can't you just put up with it?

No, the pram won't fit through the boot opening

And got a dirt cheap V70 to replace it.

I take it you don't like diesels.

Smaller pram migh. Have been the cheaper. Alternative

reggit · Oct 20th, 2013, 13:48

Pram was free and one of those that lasts from birth to when they are walking, so no complaints there - I can even carry in on the bike/sidecar (for when he's old enough), just not in the blooming car!

V70 cost me £900, I can probably sell the S60 for £1500-£1700, so should actually come out ahead.

Not bad then. For some reaso. I.was thinking of the newer S60, then I saw your sig.

Sad to see you go to the other side.

Perhaps a roof rack would have solved the issue!
