@zahid135...
I was also surprised when fuel came to an end so early...
Average which this mini pajero 660 cc turbo model 2006 gave us was around 8km/L ....

@c123pk....
Thanks brother for appreciation...actually playing with old metals is a similar hobby like kite flying,stamp collection etc..
you see when people get old and they cant fly kites any more,they just keep on sitting and watch kites fighting on the sky or telling some tricks..etc
Same is the case with me.
when i was young,I used to overhaul complete engine myself all alone but now can not open a tight screw......But passion is still there and intensity as well....
I enjoy work getting done on cars according to my instructions....
That is my relaxation.

Is this mini with automatic transmission or manual? Also what is its fuel tank capacity? Please tell tire pressure you used. Really strange that fuel tank got empty too early

@Khawar...
Its an auto..fuel tank capacity I think 35 liters.Air pressure we used 30 psi at front and 32psi at rear wheels..I think we had more load/bulk on the roof rack probably exceeding its capacity....

next morning started from Islamabad to Abbotabad via Murree and Nathia Gali.

Old Murree Road was used instead of new express way...
very Usual scene...trucks pulling up giving a lot of smoke.

Old road was not in very good condition and a lot of work was in progress...

Traffic jam and "ANDHA kANOON" walking around..

Roof carrier was fine after we fixed it on motor way.but still I thought that we should have a rope to cop with some unexpected circumstances.....Because we had KKKMMMSsssssss ahead..:).

Spitfire, nice pictures and they are tempting me to go to these places by road all the way from karachi. Hope successful in future.

Nice collection of spitfire parts.
