It's emerging that one of the reasons that HMS Dragon's departure to Cyprus is delayed is because the Govt reduced the dockworkers hours to save money.

They've gone from 24/7 operations to 9 to 5/Mon to Friday.     So that's possibly one of the reasons why the rest of the fleet is tied up alongside as well.... 

You'd think that in this day and age they could work from home. 

If you were a drone operator you probably could.

Very good, Ron 

Not petrol prices, but our heating oil has gone from around 58-60p  a litre for the last year or so, to around 120-150p a litre  now.

It's just crazy.

Who should I blame?

The Mad Mullahs. Unfortunately this war has been a long time coming. 

Try Netanyahu & Trump.

Not an omega but a Carlton estate with rear air suspension
The nsr shock is fully extended and is rock solid stuck in this position. Have removed it and it will not budge is it knackered?

B58 lump as fitted to M240i/M340i is probably one of the best engines made.

3 litre straight 6 with loads of top end power and 'stump pulling' torque at the bottom end.


My actual car made 445 bhp and 475 lb ft of twist when strapped to the dyno at Viezu. BMW quote a very conservative 369BHP and 369 lb ft of torque.

Yes, I reckon this engine in the 5 series estate, wither this one or the last one, probably makes for one of the best all round family cars money could but. I loved my m140i hugely - when it was working, and the 335d was no slouch either 

To be fair my car is not quite stock.

A used £20 JB+ from Ebay gives something like an extra 4PSI of boost.....and she has always been run on 99 octane petrol.

I never made any attempt to 'run the car in' like days of old.....full boot from day one. I've been told that cars treated like this tend to produce more power. Perhaps it's true.
