Oh, Adhams Broadside. :-*

Always wondered why my Dad was keen on us going to Southwold for our holidays when I was a nipper... and why he kept nipping off to the pub. :y

The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts.

This was about the same time that road tax was £25 across the board.

You realise the real price when it comes by the gallon, I've just filled the can for the mower £7.80 :( :(
I also remember when it was five bob a gallon :y when four passengers would each give the driver a quid for travelling to nights out all over the country. It paid his petrol for the week and a free night out ;) happy days :y :y ;) but that's another old Mod's story :D

Do you remember the uproar when it went over £1 a litre? :D :D


Although seriously, I won't be happy with petrol prices until it's within 10p of lpg. Only then will the tank come out of the boot.

....and even if that happens, which it won't, it will be ready to go back in a week later no doubt ;D

Under-steer is when the front of the car hits the wall, and over-steer is when the rear of the car hits the wall.
Power is how fast you hit the wall and torque is how much of the wall you take with you.
