Thumbs up

It was a WRX Sti Wagon dark blue in colour and in Hemel Hempstead. Now, far from being a "was it you", this is more of a "I did not think it was even possible!"

Why would it not be possible?!

Its an infernal combustion engine same as any other, even if it does sound nicer than most.

A mate of mine used to install LPG systems and I'm pretty sure he said it was possible, if a little more costly due to the boxer layout requiring extra parts.

Could it have been a sport done up to look like a WRX ?
Thought you couldn't LPG a turbo car but would be interested to know if you can !

Davyboy - where are the new cameras being installed? I assume you work in Hemel. I'm not a stalker, I live in Hemel and don't fancy getting nicked again!!

Probably the new invisible type! Maylands Avenue is on the industrial estate isn't it? Not exactly one of the faster roads in Hemel. Probably realised that they wouldn't make enough money from it so they moved it to a nice safe dual carriageway...

LPG doesn't get you an congestion charge exemption unless it is in the powershift cat 4 table.

Which rules out anything vaguely interesting unfortunately. It also must be installed by an approved fitter in a brand new car.
