DtB - I was more thinking if it still has to be applied annually, not sure if thats much different from me cleaning the patio every Spring?
Welcome to OOF
There is fun to be had in slow speed racingWhen I had a little yellow van and £1m of liability (we didn't have traditional insurance then), we often used to race other little yellow vans with a rule you could only use 1st and 2nd gear. I was young, reckless and easily led
By the late 80s, most 2l petrols were getting thereabouts. Thats 35yrs ago nowAnd to think it wasn't all that long ago that 150bhp was considered to be pretty decent.picks its heels up when asked.All things are relative. I consider 150bhp to be a sluggish dog . Maybe when I'm (even) older....
"good fun to drive" NOI quite liked it. Well, the challenge of trying to get from A to B as quickly as I could.
Like you, I don't know whether to weep or laugh at thatTouch wood but the Yeti has just cost service items and MOT for the last 2 years, does about 10miles per litre in comfort. Handles well and 150 HP 2L oil burner picks its heels up when asked.My Altea didn't cost much in maintenance terms...tyres, brakes, rear shocks and servicing over 2 years/135k miles... Probably about £5k, not that it was particularly reliable... it wasn't and dealer ineptitude meant the cambelt service was free amongst other things. Plus £10k in depreciation. And £22.5k in fuel along with £600 in rfl, £3.7k insurance and £7,200 in payments.
Man maths makes that a grand total of £56k to run a £12.5k brand new car for 2 years/135k miles. Or 41ppm over the ownership of the vehicle.
Thinking about it, £56k sounds like alot but 41ppm almost sounds reasonable...

Come on, common as now. Even my Yeti has Zenon's that turn when you steer and at slow speed puts the spot light on to light kerb at a junction.Yeah, but thats VAG, and the stupid foglight turn lights are built to burn retinas of oncoming drivers... ...be it a Pisshat or a Yeti. How dare other road users try to use the road
after they sold my details following a non fault accident. The spam calls got so bad I had to change my numberThey all do, sell on your accident to all the ambulance chasers and other scum of the universe.
Treat patio slabs etc BAC50 ,BA50How long is it effective for?
Benzalkonium Chloride Algaecide Bactericide & Fungicide clicky
strong stuff
very effective
Anyone else know what they've spent, or am I the only one who's this sadNo, I'm just as sad. Mainly to prove to my boss its impossible to run a decent car on the miserable 28ppm our company pays. I changed app in November 2021, so seeing stuff before then is a pain involving spreadsheets, which is just an office self-abuser's tool.
It's got Bi-xenons that go round corners for some reason, How I've managed all these years going round corners I don't know..Like many gimmicks, it's one you miss when you suddenly dont have it.
Im hoping to keep it until I retire (hopefully) at 70.Wasn't that 20yrs ago?
Just how much mess pressure washing the patios madeI can only do about 45mins a day, as the water doesn't drain quick enough after a while once the adjacent grass is waterlogged
In my limited defence, they haven't had much more than an annual scrub since we had them built 22 years ago
That said, they look like new and I can honestly say that I am glad I went with a pressure washer with a water cooled motor... Three hours almost non stop without so much as a splutter
