Check out the cost of fuel per litre back then. People were complaining about the price then too!!!

I miss my bike that would show nissan GTRs what for and still return 50mpg.

Remember it well. I remember being able to fill my Mk2 Golf 16v up for about £35.

I stopped at the Shell service station at Corley services on the M6 yesterday. V-Power was 149.9 p/pl.
