Advantages: Cheap motoring, Cheaper VED (Road Tax) Disadvantages: Time to convert it, lose a bit of luggage space
I had Alan convert my wife's Xtrail and I was so impressed by the ease of use and the savings to be made that I then chose to convert my own car. That's 2 x £1600 and I consider it money well spent.

regarding Payment options all the usual payment methods are accepted including
the petrolstation plays some music and provides its Customers some entertainment. the petrolstation has some seats that allow Customers to enjoy their Coffee. There is no seating space outside. However two hundred yards down the road is Lowlands Road hill, where there are public benches, and grass verges for people to sit down on during the summer months. the forecourt is a fast paced sales store, and as such does not meet my expectations to drink Coffee at this petrolstation. though at least it provides some Customers with some flexibility to takeaway or Drink in store.
