I have looked into that and you can download 'point of interest' files for satnavs that list LPG stations. There is a paper-based UK map version too. |

Probably not with the GT, although the tank could go in the wheel well again, though... I really don't have much of an emotional attachment to this car, although Mrs. Catman seems to be[1] loving it.

So that's her taking the GT then..... -- Catman MIB#14 SKoGA#6 TEAR#4 BOTAFOF#38 Apostle#21 COSOC#3 Tyger, Tyger Burning Bright (Remove rust to reply) 116 Giulietta 3.0l Sprint 1.7 GTV TS GT 3.2 V6 Triumph Sprint ST 1050: It's blue, see. www.cuore-sportivo.co.uk |
