Two? Has Britain got two serviceable and all the support ships necessary…………

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.

.
               Well there is an opinion that full boost while running in helps the piston rings seal better, if it’s true or not I don’t know🐣

Yes indeed, pity it took so long to finish the evil bastard.

carlton mk2(83-86) has manual inflation valve ito pump up as req .my cd has this but i fitted a guage as well to see what its at .

Poor Kier. Donald has been dissing him again:

Donald Trump has just posted on his Truth Social messaging platform.
He says "the United Kingdom, our once Great Ally, maybe the Greatest of them all, is finally giving serious thought to sending two aircraft carriers to the Middle East".
"That’s OK, Prime Minister Starmer, we don’t need them any longer - But we will remember," Trump says.
"We don’t need people that join Wars after we’ve already won!" he adds.

And his throat cut.
 He must have lived in fear, terror and misery until he was put out of it.
Good job too. 

I believe he was attacked while carrying out his cleaning duties in one of the prisons workshops so many items would have been available,  it will save us the taxpayers a few quid now he's gone.

If they'd got him 20 years ago just think how much that could have saved

Surprised it's taken so long to be honest.   

Although I think he was attacked at least a couple of times previously. I read somewhere he'd had boiling water thrown over him. 

Discovered that the jiggly brakes on Zeke are probably* down to the wishbone bush having become a hole of rubber debris.

On the one hand, they're probably five years old and I do drive everywhere in a manner likely to cause early arrival.

On the other, they've probably done less than 5k miles. New replacements ordered then I'll refurb these with bushes that aren't made of plasticene...

Apparently a 3 foot iron bar was readily available in his high security unit.

With spikes.

diplomacy, not war, is the way to conduct foreign policy

To a point.  There comes a time when diplomacy either fails, or gets nowhere.

If we were all leftie wets 85 years ago, we'd all be either Ayran or dead.

At least the trains on Chiltern oppsing Railways might have run on time! 

Not with their current staff, who all would have been shot/gassed/whatever.   I'm not necessarily saying that would be a bad thing, mind.....
