Default Erm... how much does my scoob weigh?

So I succumbed to the internet hype and bought at GTech/pro thingy that tells you 0-60, 60-0, 1/4 times etc, and in order for it to work out BHP, it needs to know how much the car weighs.

I've looked in the manual (no joy) and at the VIN plate (lots of seemingly random numbers), so can someone tell me, how much does my MY00 wagon, with one (ok, fairly lardy) driver weigh?

/thinks/ That'll stump 'em right good /nothinks/

Cheers all

Lovely job, thanks. Any ideas if this is full tank of fuel/four lardy passenger weight, or the dry weight?

MY00 Wagon should be 1270kg, allow 0.75kg/L for fuel plus whatever you weigh.

Nice one, thanks. So i should reckon on about 1360KG, inluding me and an undisclosed amount of fuel (OK, none at all, I'm a blubberman). Right, time for a bit of caning to see if this thing works.
