Finally! Tax and insurance done, now I can drive :)
If I knew then what I know now, I'd have taken it to the scrapyard...

Glad I didn't though :)

Well, I finally managed to get some veg oil at a reasonable price (£21 for 20 litres) so I tipped some into the tank and went for a test drive this morning. Over the Forth bridge, then a loop back to Edinburgh via Kincardine. She seemed to run fine, maybe even a little more power over diesel!

I'll give that a try with the 2 stroke oil - what sort of ratio did you use?

Hope you're having fun with that V6 - don't neglect your wife and child tho! :wink:
