General Car Chat / Petrol consumption.

« on: 22 December 2023, 15:58:12 »

TB mentioned in a recent post that he needed a 'planet killing soot chucker' because he couldn't make a reasonably powerful petrol car achieve double figures.

Well, I don't drive like Tunnie or  the scouse whippet owner, so I reckon these figures are pretty reasonable, with 40 MPG possible on a long run.

I can remember an elderly aunt boasting that her Morris Minor would do 'almost' 40 MPG if she didn't see the dark side of 35 MPH.

First Trump banned then Vivek Ramaswamy pulls out.

US politics is even more of a basket case than that in the UK.

General Discussion Area / Not so clever now is he.

He has already forgiven me as he starts his time in mouse heaven.

I've put the traps back to see if he has any mates still lurking about.

General Car Chat / Annoying little shits.

« on: 30 November 2023, 12:32:47 »

Had the same problem last year.

Why do the manufacturers not make 'rat poison' more lethal. So lethal in fact that it drops the little bastard before the poison has even reached it's tiny belly.

This latest mouse( I think there is just one) has consumed roughly 3 times it's body weight in poison yet it is still coming back for more.

Commercial rat poison is piss weak.

There seems to be a clear winner.

General Car Chat / Launch control fun day out for the little Mexican

« on: 12 November 2023, 13:41:09 »

She now has around 2300 miles under her wheels and feels quicker than when I first had her.

Launch control...... put the car in either sport or sport plus, then switch of all traction control. Press down hard on the brake and pin the accelerator to the floor. Then release.

Not a proper M car but surprisingly quick.

It is illegal to travel faster than 70 MPH in the UK, so both acceleration runs recorded on a private track.

Anyone having a bet?

John Fury would probably beat both of them together...

General Discussion Area / Mower oil.

« on: 18 October 2023, 13:16:56 »

Most petrol mower manufacturers recommend SAE 30......which I don't have.

However, I have plenty of 5/30 left over following an oil change on my desirable Vauxhall.

So, is 5/30 OK?

The 4 stroke OHV 173cc lump only revs to 2800 RPM.
