Bloke must have wanted a project, might as well just stick an LPG tank in the boot.

That was a very interesting read hats off to that man a nice concept very well executed

Yep, interesting stuff and very clever and probably the future, though a significant time off yet giving current oil reserves. It must be an age thing as I love changing gear and listening to the engine, it's the feeling of being involved in the process of driving and enjoying it. As said, he's done well though, great job

Think someone was looking at that ages ago on here, think in the end it proved infeasible.

LPG conversion, tried & tested and cheap and you can still run on petrol, best of both worlds.
And before anyone says 'yeah, but you have a big tank in the boot', look at that boot full of battery's.

You been earwigging our group chat. We've been talking about it and found an engine. If it happens or not that's another thing.

Awesome!!! I would chop in the festa for a Zed diesel if the costs staked up

 

[BMBabe]

But you'd get there just as Roger Daltry had finished his gig and miss all the fun

It wouldn't be a boring diesel something proper would have to go in it
