Hi, my son Nick currently has an S2 2.9 V6. He is thinking of switching to a Chiamera 400. I'm just wondering what the difference in running costs might be? He gets about 25-30mpg out of his S. Would a Chimaera differ much?

Mpg will likely be slightly less, but will depend on the type and style of driving (urban/motorway-sedate/hooning), my 450 returns about 20mpg for the B roads to and from work during the week, but improves significantly on longer motorway trips.

Chest wig and medallion is only for Griffith drivers.

I'm currently saving up for my golf bats in order to be accepted by the wider Chimaera community, apparently I cant use a cricket paddle on the golf field, but I think I got away with the cue ball I used.

Haha, cheers for the reply chaps. As for golf clubs, that isn't his game, cricket is.
