Not as often as I thought tbh, but often enough, we go away a fair bit, and two bikes in the boot is just about doable, I hate racks. Through space for step ladders and diy stuff is major plus for the car IMO.

Buy as you rightly say filling up more often is a pita week to week.

Either roof bars or a tow bar mounted rack I reckon ::) ::)

Or... And just thinking aloud here... If you took the wheels off would the bikes fit in the back? Not ideal I know but a solution none the less
Not with a  cylinder. Two bikes with font wheels removed will just fit with seats down.

Plus there is no way I'm leaving 2k worth of mountain bikes on the outside of the car.

Ahh... Understood ;)

Oh... And the spare should be 195 wide IIRCC

but as LD says on the saloon the tank has to be laid on the boot floor on it's side, slid to the left, then tipped up into the wheel well without hitting the roof of the wing before it drops down and in.

Ahh yes.. I'd forgotten that (I mean, I've only seen photographs :)) - makes sense, then, and makes you just as constricted (or, as LD says, more so as to do the equivalent of raising the floor would require fabricating a deeper wheel well - assuming there's nothing underfloor to obstruct it)
Did think about fitting a trap door for tail gating beemers!

Like chrisgixer, I didn't want to lose bootspace, which is why I never fitted the LPG earlier....

...but when it came to it, I needed the bootspace 2 or 3 times a year, and for those 2 or 3 times a year, I could slap on one of those gay pikey roofboxes.

Hence, the MV6 has an 80l, and the elite will have one too...  ...or a 90l...  ...or a 100l....  ::)

Cost of roofbox needs to be considered in the maths though.

I think I paid around £110 for the 320l Karrite (the cheap brand of Thule (pronounce Toole, if you're ringin around  :-[)), and a big hairy scotsman gave me a set of genuine GM bars :y

Aye, but you now know how to make the car swap ends at speed whilst being in (relative) control.

Might come in handy one day......   ;D

Very true, and great fun :y :y :y

Though oddly, I've found little use for it on the public highway ::)


I believe tunnie learnt the opposite stunt in his Senator...  ...only he was going forwards and ended up going backwards...  ...with a WTF look on his face ;D

It was the night I brought Max V6's Elite over from Oxford to Brackley, on the way back, super wet road, had an excellent drift of the top of the M40 round-about, really felt that LSD kicking in, and had it seriously sideways  :o

Got a bit too cocky with the power on my next attempt, 720 spin  :o :o

Luckily leather can be wiped clean  ;D

Chris I've been trying to sort out a torrodial lpg tank for my estate as I'm waiting for a front end kit via Lazydocker's contact,been useing Kevin's link (reply156) and was surprised to find what I think you were looking for ie a vertical mounted torrodial tank it's  'Product range No is V12' on the website hope this info helps. I'm wanting one for the spare wheel well and thinking of raising the floor useing a fairly dense polystyrene to gain more capacity :y

I don't think that's a 'full' toroidal - it's a standard toroidal with a plate secured over the hole in the center (according to the technical data there, anyway)

Full toroidal has no hole in the middle and the valve plate on the outer edge. Thes are common in horizontal form for the estate, but not in upright form for the omega saloon.

Apparently most saloons have a floor mounted spare, as the omega Estate. Which is dam inconvenient, but there you go.
