Polished the opaque headlamps on the 3.2 prior to MOT next week, came up nicely in about an hour and a half.

Time well spent IMHO

After 90minutes of polishing, I would expect to be able to see them from here

 Took the Monaro in for centre prop bearing, oil and filter change and MOT
All done ready for next year as now will be wrapped up in cotton wool for winter hibernation

After convincing myself that the V70 was going to fail it's MOT horribly and cost me mucho ££££, she sailed through with a couple of minor advisories.

The plastic / cardboard Fr***h hatchback is due next week and the Omega a couple of weeks later. Could be some expense on the horizon.
Omega needs front discs / pads, which will be done before the test. Hoping it will be ok otherwise.
The Fr***h thing - god knows. It creaks rattles and knocks all the time, but I suspect its been like that from new.

Ordered the replacement for the XE running on Mr Optis second favourite fuel

Yes, I expect I'll see the reflections off the water.....

Not flooded at the moment, but I’ll take my waders.

I've managed to pause the search for a replacement car for Mrs TB, as whilst she isn't commuting, the LPG availability problem isn't a problem . TBE gets a reprieve

Still not got a scooby what to get her though.  What's Mrs DTM getting? And I thought her journeys were all fairly short?

What do you get from a full tank of lpg around town? I’m around 140 Miles to a tank full (43 litres all I can squeeze in ) 3.2 Mv6 estate auto.

You want to convert that to a manual V8 with those figures

I don't know.... lpg is 65p/litre around here, so 43 litres is £27.95. 140 miles at £27.95 is  19.96 pence / mile

When I ran the Omega the equivalent petrol cost was around 29 pence /mile around town ..  so looks like he's still "saving" around 10 pence a mile ....

[Doctor Gollum]

That's only a couple of pence off what the Barge costs. On petrol

If you're getting around 20pence /mile from the barge on petrol then it's doing around 30 mpg !! No Omega v6 I know does that around town !! Lucky to ever get even low 20s ... maybe 25-28 mpg on a run
