I'm not sure how it works , I haven't read the Quran
72 virgins at the same time is enough to kill any man.

« on: 27 March 2024, 17:05:07 »The RS2000 had 150bhp (retuned from the 8v lump in the MK3 Granada/Sierra), but the 2.0 Zetec lump was 135/140 iirc.
The Zetec S 170 in the Focus didn't appear until the MY2000 facelift.
The V6 Mundeo was 170bhp all day long.
Mercedes had 185bhp fuel injected twin cam straight six from the early 70's but mainstream stuff took a while to catch up.
The Honda 1.8 revved to about 8k so not sure if that counts
Long time ago now, but, my 1991 Sierra 2.OGLX came with a DOHC lump that made it pretty quick.
Can't remember how much power it made now, but I think around 125BHP.

Bike engines were producing 100 BHP a litre NA back in the time of Moses.
Quite simple really.....lots of revs and a carb for each cylinder.

He is a Christian man.
No idea why he had a Muslim send off.

« on: 25 March 2024, 18:33:48 »There are certain insurance companies that are refusing to insure anyone over 70 now. Or quoting such a ridiculously high price that they know won't be accepted.
My Dad is 87 next, rand LV today for a quote & they have refused to insure him. Not sure who he's insured with at the moment, but they've quoted him £1720 for his Chrysler Grande Voyager!
The very young and the very old are always given a kicking when it comes to insurance.

« on: 25 March 2024, 18:29:18 »Early red top with the cos cast head produced 156bhp and 144Lbs ft torque in a mk 2 Astra that was plenty at that time and weighed under a ton, or on the other hand the 1.4 pushrod lump in the Renault GT turbo took about an hour and under £50 to change the standard 120bhp to 160bhp Ive had both and they were probably more fun then than the stuff I’ve got now😁 Evo being impossible to race on the road as there’s nothing about than can catch it anyway and speeds would mean a definite visit to HMP.
I had a thrash in a 2 litre clit 172 Cup a couple of years ago. Nice shade of blue.
Very quick and great fun but I didn't buy it because it was so noisy and uncomfortable that I thought it's accelerative charms would wear thin after a while.

« on: 25 March 2024, 17:24:52 »picks its heels up when asked.All things are relative. I consider 150bhp to be a sluggish dog. Maybe when I'm (even) older....
The traffic must behave very differently in Brackley than it does here; a tired 2.0l Capri(100bhp claimed) easily keeps up with any traffic in Medway without any effort. Just like they always did.
150bhp 2.0l - Vauxhall's XE was probably the first mass-market one - were becoming more common in the late 80s, but I'd suggest that the more traditional 100bhp 8valve ones(like Pintos etc) were still in the majority. 150bhp does have to work much harder than it used to, when you consider the sheer bulk of most modern cars.
A 2 litre Capri from the dark ages probably weighs less than 1ton/tonne so a paltry 100 BHP is probably more than enough.
Cars are proper fat bastards these days.

My old Dad owned 3 DS Citroen when I was a nipper.....none of them had the swivel lights.
Even so, compared to an antiquated Austin or Morris of the time they looked like a UFO had landed.

« on: 25 March 2024, 12:19:05 »In the course of writing the ad for the Zafira, I discovered that I've spent just shy of £875 in maintenance costs (ex. MOT fees) over the past three years and 31,000. I can't make my mind up if that sounds like a lot or not, in the grand scheme of things.
Considering I've worked the car hard over that time, with lots of travel 6 or 7 up, lots of miles towing a trailer etc I suppose its not too bad.
Anyone else know what they've spent, or am I the only one who's this sad
The Signum has been reasonably light on repair costs over the 9 years I have owned her.......but £730 road tax each years stings a bit.
