General Car Chat / think i have bad luck with cars

« on: 20 July 2012, 10:07:13 »

my lpg elite estate started leeking water and getting really hot..pulled over and nursed it to garage when i had put more water in..garage found a cracked plastic pipe on the vaporiser which was then fixed...noticed going home that i was getting lots of water vapour out of the exhaust..thought head gasket...parked it up until i can get it to the dark lord for investigation...so got my 3.2 mv6 estate out..retaxed it swapped the insurance...set off to work early next morning(03.10a.m) ...and bang..snapped the auxillary belt due to a seized tensioner ..aa back to same garage ..long wait till garage opened and £146 later off i go......
 on a plus note 170 motorway miles at 70/80 mph 10 miles to mway along country lanes and 2 x 6 mile commutes in london and it's still saying 28.5 mpg

General Discussion Area / olympic security..G4S

« on: 12 July 2012, 10:49:22 »

£284 million contract for 10,000 guards ...thats £28400 per person for 6 weeks...
 G4S are paying around £10 per hour so say the average guard covers 60 hours a week thats £3600 over 6 weeks  ..so only £248 million profit..less training...wonder what baron reid ex labour home secretary cut is
