General Discussion Area / Re: I got 36.5mpg out of my mig today :)

« on: 17 February 2008, 21:49:39 »

56 Mph is the magic figure, aparently thats the one (90Kph) that Manfactures use for the best MPG spec figs of the Car, and the ECU burns lean at that speed.

Tried it once with my MV6 3.0  on a run to Norwich (was having sad day) 56 MPH plus Cruise most of the way, 39.3 MPG, just couldn,t get the bugger to do more than 40MPG.

Tried it again on the next trip, same place in the Meggy Van (2.5TD manual Estate) got 53 MPG, never seen that before and prob never will.

My local Guy works on £80 a panel (all in) and he does a good job.

The fact that yours is primed and ready may or may not make any difference to the sprayer but I would have thought 140 to 180? for both.

« on: 09 February 2008, 02:43:35 »

Hmmm, tricky one.

Daily driver?

Meega.

2.8i capri?

To be honest, performance isnt everything. You want performance?, 0-60 times?, Traffic light grand prix?

Scooby WRX, Lancer EVO.

If you are feeling brave, Skyline.

Basically, most jap 4x4 turbo motors.

2.8i Capris are all about the experience.

It is about the whole experience, from first drive, to the daily drive, to the weekend treat, to the shows, to selling it to someone who you will know will appreciate it as much as you did.

A capri has a status. A 2.8i is a status with a purpose and a promise.

That is it.

Anyone who disagrees does not appreciate cars.

My opinion.

!! My FORD RWD Cossie will give any of those Jap cars a good run for thier money!

General Discussion Area / Re: Speed Camera Vans!!!!

« on: 09 February 2008, 02:23:49 »

These are fair as long as they play by the rules also:- Not parked on double yellows, bus stops, too far away from the road they are fixed on, cross hatchings, the list is endless as to where iv'e seen them parked. The fact is, if you get a ticket & the van or whatever is parked illegal then you can contest it.
The equipment also has to be calibrated & have a cert to say so.
These things iv'e learned from particular sites on the web.
 

Not True, if in London, I recently did some contract work in a building in Victoria, cant say too much but there are 3 floors just dedicated to replaying Camera Videos from VHS back up tapes, I was really surprised how many high building cameras there are covering London, say for example only, about 12 per set of traffic lights!

I couldn't belive the Camera quality, and the ability to zoom into a Number Plate with such high definition, from a VHS tape (taken from the main Matrix Server).

So, if the laser didn't get you, or the Number reconition white Van, believe me these Guy's will, there main concern is backing up so called 'it wasn't me claims' and of course other threats!.

I was quite impressed with the abillity that already exists!

If anyone knows how to bypass TB's newbie status (e.g. cahnging the avatar and username and hoping he won't notice), please PM me. Confidentiality guaranteed.  

Alternatively if anyone has successfully managed to bribe TB then I would like to hear what his weak spot is....  

I read on another Forum that 'The Stig' comes round at TB's for Sunday Dinner and they discuss Steam Tractors!!.
