yep, im 13st and missus about 8st so whats that in kgs

I wasnt far away then,

Whatever you weigh in scrap wise is worth something nowerdays thats why there is so many pikies at it, easy money

A kilo is 2.2 lbs, 14lbs to a stone. so that would be 294lbs = 133.6kgs

Pretty heavy.

I dread to think how heavy ours is with four people a boot FULL (to the brim!) and a full tank of fuel. Ouch!

And the lack of fuel economy lol

Can't say it effects it greatly on a run.

We've seen 50mpg with four adults and luggage and 47mpg with four adults and luggage on a fast run to Germany (100-120mph most the time and a top speed recorded on the GPS of 138mph).
