My New Fishing Wagon

[Elton]

I reckon I could get my fly rod in it, but that's about it!

 

Steve,

 

Take a leaf out of my book - click here

[Steve Walker]

I heard you had your big Wingham carp on one of those

 

Anyway, look, practical fishing transport:

 

 

Fly fishing is great!

[Steve Walker]

It's quite nice Steve W, but obviously no match for mine

 

Well, obviously!

 

It's a damned sight more civilised than the Lotus anyway - sitting six inches off the ground with the engine behind your head is a wee bit noisy...

 

Mind you, based on what you got into your car for Wingham, with your packing skills I reckon you could pack my entire house into the Subaru!

[Elton]

The Legacy just passed its M.O.T. with no work needed

[Elton]

For the record, it passed again this year. I had to fit a new cat. Nothing wrong with the old one, but the pipe had corroded. Anyway, £90 off eBay and she's good for another year

I have really enjoyed the banter on this one Scoobies are masters at 4WD and the new Elton fishing wagon should prove excellent if a little thirsty. My 4WD, an Audi A3 TDi Quattro that has been mapped on top of the huge amount of power it left the factory with is rapid on the road but more than a tad too low to the ground for anything more than a bowling green

Glyn, I have to agree your wagon is excellent!

I bet my Evo's lower....and possibly thirstier. That's why it doesn't go fishing

[weirwulf]

He he definitely thirstier unless the Evo does at least 40 mpg. Doubt whether the Audi is as quick in a straight line either

You seriously get 40mpg? I Reckon I get 15-20 most of the time, but don't really do 'journeys' with it any more, preferring just to thrash it now and again.

 

That said, it has been carp fishing a few times in the past.

 

The old Subaru does 30-ish on a run, but has no performance to speak of.

[weirwulf]

I have averaged 44 MPG over the last 950 miles most of which have been travelling to and from work and the car has not been in 6th for long. Mapping has improved the MPG as well as the performance. My son's 2 wheel drive car with the same engine and box does around 50 MPG as does my Mondy 2.0 TDCi
