Car (or bike) Chat!

Good news on my Alfa,
exhaust manifold/ sports cats fabricated n fitted, car passed its MOT with 1 advisory on thin front break pads.
An easy fix, sort out on next service.

Pick it up tomorrow…
Happy days. :thumbsup:

Good news Gaz. Happy motoring again

faster motoring too.

Nice one Gaz. About bloody time.

Thanks Chaps.

yeah,
curious to see what the improvement with the exhaust work will be,
but just happy to have it back on the road.

I suppose the real key to it is to make your own leccy. Was looking at those windmill things but they have to be sited twenty foot from your property boundary so it's a rich man's game, not for us terraced house people. Shame as it's always windy here and just one of them would cover all my power needs.

Probably only applies to those full-size jobbies. If you were to get some of those they sell on Blackpool sea front (about 5,000 should do the trick) and stick them all over your roof you'd be laughing. As would your neighbours :)

Don't know how you'd wire them though, that's someone else's department. I'm just the ideas man.

After a week or so in Dorset/Cornwall/Devon, we've just arrived back. And there's a NIP in the air (Notice of Intended Prosecution) from Dorset Constabulary. For doing 63mph in a fifty. Anita's ticket though, not mine :) She wishes she'd let me drive her baby now.

Hoping she will be eligible for speed awareness course instead of points, but I don't know what the requirements are.

No way I'm ever going to Blackpool so that idea's out.

Although that does give me the idea of getting a donkey, have it gong around on one of those boom things like in the westerns.

Would fit in my back yard if I got a little one and passing children would bring it food - carrots and stuff - to keep it going. Plus there's lots of weeds it can munch on.

The A39 out of Truro is a bugger, with its mobile speed camera vans tucked away on down-gradients just to catch those whose speed inadvertantly creeps up. Drivers heading west get acclimatised to hours of the 70 limit on the A30 and A303 and after that, the jump down to 60 mph won't necessarily register immediately.

most of w lothian built up is 20mph now. still quite a few ignore it in extreme and just get uppety and overtake etc... bmw drivers many of them. apparently if you drive one you have to race about in it:rolleyes:
