I remember there was 1 petrol station that sold the 5* that my Mum's Fiat needed. And that was quite pricey.

Said station was shut down, after being caught more than once for watering down fuel. I remember a life of octane boosters

[Strangechap]

Actually I can remember when it was cheaper than that. I have a receipt still for my Cortina, which was £12 to fill up!

Quite startling!

lol, I can remember my first car in 1989, a battered 1978 Mini 850, and ten quids worth of 2 star would fill it up (around £1.50 a gallon then).

When I was feeling really flush I'd treat it to 3 star 

Ten years ago, I could fill the DeLorean up for less then £30, now its pushing £60    And thats without the plutonium for the flux capacitor.......

Can't you go back and fill up in 1955 or something?

I have had the pleasure of riding in Claire's time machine. Totally awesome... And she can drive it

[Strangechap]

Sweet. They're such a unique car.

Right, on the subject of LPG..... who is up for helping me convert a 6-cyl XJR.   

I'll be buggered if I am going to pay £110 to regularly fill up the petrol tank

Depending when & where, sure gadget hands here could help

I'm back next week and I'll be erm busy most of the week, so I will make a start (access to Teilo permitting) the week after.  It's tank and fuel line first, then front end and the loom

Getting hold of him can be challenging, but can be done

Depending on timings I might be able to lend a hand, although I'm not really in a fit state to be doing too much physical work at the moment

I will be happy to lend a hand too.

Actually, I could do with retrieving my taps and dies from you when you get back. No desperate rush, though. Got a job on the back burner that needs a thread on it.

Oh, and don't forget to schedule in that brew day.

Paul, knowing how busy you are I appreciate the offer but your back comes first 

Would really relish getting together for a catch-up over a curry or two  (I owe KW at least one trip to vindaloo nirvana)

[Kevin Wood]

Ahh! Someone mentioned curry.
