Just as a side note, ALDI vegetable oil has gone up by 10p a litre in 2 weeks. Anyone know what the deal is with vegatable oild in deisel cars?? I assume that you have to mix it with regular diesel and cannot just fill up on vegatable oil?? Or is there some other special way that you have to use it??

Might be getting a new car

I'm thinking about getting a new car and just wanted peoples thoughts.

Evo VI - £15000 second hand. £980 to insure
Evo VIII 260 - £18000 second hand. £1200 to insure
Skyline GRT V-Spec - £16000 second hand £890 to insure

Very tempted with either the Evo VI or the R33
