ausmini :: View topic - Is this guy for real?

I have just sent him a message stating....."Mate the distance from Emerald to Brisbane is around 850Km. No mini can make that distance on $40 worth of fuel. Let's say petrol is $1.20 a litre, that makes it 33.3 litres of petrol. That makes it that you are saying that this mini does 25.5Km per litre. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE. Who are you trying to fool ?"

Perhaps it did most part of the journey on the back of a tow truck and he forgot!
He actually replied to me Saying " at the time fuel was between 84 and 96 cents a litre" Still on 33.3 Litres you will never do 850Km in any mini unless it is being pushed of course. I replied to him again telling him it is impossible.

yeah its a Bit over priced for a fairly standard clubby. even if it has had a lot of workshop servicing.

Maybe it's $40 a tank and you just have to do it 4 times.

Or they had to push it (he did say he replaced the radiator) Well lets work out what year it was when he did that trip; Average mini fuel consumption = 7L/100 km 7x8.35 = 58.45 L 40/58.45 = $0.684 per litre So whats that mid 90's?

yeah its Very quiet at work ATM only travelers No Workers or company rep's staying with us Ive been finishing at 8 or 8.30 since ive come back from Xmas. its not good But We will get busy soon and then i will kick into high cooking gear Looking forward to it. i want to get this fellas Number and offer him a more resonable $$ offer for the car if he is trying to sell it for 9000 he isnt interested in selling it to be honest ( no nice paint, no Disks, No recond engine or big block, ordinary interior). maybe this is wher the price of standard Clubbys are goin woohoo.

i thought clubman production started during 70 or 71, unless they made 4? concept clubmans during 68? but back to hatchbacks.........i know nothing about factory built hatchback minis? except ringo's.
