Hello from a UK bike & car enthusiast
Hello - I’ve been lurking on this site for a few years now and thought I’d join up and thank you all for the excellent info on this site.
I currently drive a Citroen C5 saloon/sedan with a 1600cc direct injection turbo engine with 155bhp. I’ve had 46mpg out of a tank (38mpg USA) but usually get around 40mpg (33mpg USA) which is good for a big car but I believe I can improve upon this. I also have a 125cc Honda CBF which I’ve had up to 150mpg (124mpg USA) and a 2,300cc Triumph Rocket which is capable of excellent MPG but I lack the self-restraint to achieve much over 40mpg. |
Welcome to the site.

Is your C5 fitted with a manual or an automatic transmission? BTW that engine in the Triumph Rocket is nice, I always wondered how that could fare in a midsize car (such as a Chevy Malibu) compared to a regular 4-pot...

That engine into a Mini could be a nice project.

Any specific plans for the car? Welcome to the forum! |
welcome to the site limey!
We are collectively jealous of the insane eco friendly cars you have in Europe, especially the fact we can't hardly get a stick shift to save our lives. Slushboxes are the norm over here in the colonies. We have a couple other guys from the UK, arragonis springs most readily to mind. Were it not for jeremey Clarkson, I'd never have caught the reference to british Leyland. Thanks to top gear (and doctor Who I'm afraid) I have become a bit of an anglophile and drink tea correctly, but I still think y'all eat strange bacon. |
