Or, buy a 2.2 estate and pull the kit off the 2.2 saloon with a donut tank, wot like was suggested first off 

[TheBoy]

So it's looking like keep the 2.2, sell the 3.2, and just deal without ability to carry pram until that day comes. Thinking about it, I've not tried taking prams wheels off.

Takign the wheels off isn't going to be viable really, is it? You want to fold, shove in, pull out, unfold. Not fanny around.

If the mileage is that low, use the bike in the summer and petrol 3.2 in the winter

Estate will be used most, it's unlikely 2.2 would be used. But I need to cater for it, quite possible the Estate maybe broke or need work. So do need capability really, those wheels take 2 seconds to take off though.

Donut tank range not good enough

Thought had crossed my mind 

[TheBoy]

Donut tank range not good enough 

It is if that's the best option. I suspect you could get well over 300m from a 72l doughnut, given your sedate driving style.

(72l doughnut would require slight floor lift)

We've had the range discussion, and your forgetting for the sake of arguement that there are at least 6 lpg station within five miles of your house, ok perhaps 7, but the point stands

[tunnie]

Problem solved....



Took seconds, once I remembered the wheels came off 

No point LPG'ing the Estate, I filled up the 3.2 with go-go juice around 6 weeks ago, still not used it all...

Aren't kids supposed to be in the cabin?

[tunnie]

Aren't kids supposed to be in the cabin?

Err yeah? That's the pram base + cot? Baby seat and dock in the car 

[05omegav6]

Two questions...

1. Can you do that in the rain when the baby is kicking off?
1a. Can Mrs T?
2. Where does all the other crap paraphernalia go?

Me thinks Mr Tunnie needs to wake up to the reality of what is about to happen

Edited to add a sub question.

Oh, OK.


Seems a lot of wanking around, can't you leave in the pram in the boot?

Ok, think basic point was missed again, you tend to skip over the key facts of why I do things. Then go off preaching, recall someone buying an Insignia Hatch, then realising fek all fits in it? 

The Estate will become the primary car for baby, due to huge space. As I've mentioned before, I'll say it again just to confirm. The Estate will become the main car.

The only reason for changing/gassing the 3.2 was the fact I could not fit the pram in at-all in my 2.2, or so I thought, incase of a must have reason to use mine. Being Estate is broke, or for some reason I need to take mine.

Even with kit in the 3.2, space is minimal. Remember on the 2.2, I have a good chunk of space behind the tank/seats.

[05omegav6]

I knew the Insignia was a compromise when I bought it, and took a chance... I oppsed up, never denied it

Why worry about what does or doesn't fit in the 2.2 if it's a just in case car? More to the point why even keep it, like I said you've plenty else to be worried about...

[tunnie]

Why keep 2.2? Errr so I can get to work

Having established that the 3.2 only costs an extra 6ppm, and you can use the bike for half the days...
Keeping the shed makes no sense... practically or physically
