Replaced it

which model Tesla did you get 

Its her car, and she won't have a milk float .  Beyond that, she just knows its a red car

25 BHP extra then being RED

Probably NWS...

The fluffs at Sheffield city council banned the innocuous and inoffensive Chubby Brown from doing his gig earlier in the year and, I'm afraid, it looks as [/highlight]though Kevin is going to go the same way

Went to Meadowhall once to avoid a soggy day in the peaks, does that count?

As any yorkshireman will tell you, it's pronounced Meadowhell.

Considered starting cleaning it for Billing Sywell. Then remembered I wanted to change the prop-shaft incase that is the reason for the whining diff (it won't be but still), so did that instead. Now I need one new exhaust hangar rubber thing - should be here Wednesday. Car can stay up on blocks till that arrives, and it's impossible to clean a car that's 2 foot off the ground.

[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

No one's asking   

Its not an Omega, so is of no relevance here

(If that's what you are getting at)

Not what I was getting at at all. Opti must know what it is and how much you paid for it, and would definitely ask, until he sees this 

Opti wont care, as its not petrol.

Hmmm.....so a Massey Ferguson then.

Following a 500 mile return trip to Wales last week I thought I'd check the trip computer.

28.7 MPG......who needs derv.

[Migv6 le Frog Fan]

Averaged 31mpg over the last few days in the Boxster, which is pretty good for a car like that.
Being manual and half a ton lighter than the Omega helps.
Still want my 60mpg derv commuter pile of crap back on the road if possible but just cant find time to do it.
Got the new cam pulley and timing belt on today. Was going to put all the other stuff back on and try and fire it up, but work called, and then had to go and see the outlaws first as swmbo had cooked them a dinner.
MIL had a stroke two weeks ago. Then had pneumonia and Sepsis while in hospital.
Apparently thats a valid excuse not to cook dnner now.

Maybe once, possibly twice, any more is just laziness.

With all this overtime you'll be able to afford a NEW Boxster in no time.
