Gives an effective range of 315 miles (35 litre tank). 1995 Mazda 323 auto does about 39-40 in similar conditions. Progress! How does that compare to your MPG in it @purplebargeken? Mrs Egg drove the whole of the next tank, and she achieved 46.73 mpg. Conclusion, Mrs E is a hypermiler and she doesn't know it.

Fairly common occurance in this drab shithole town, the town gets blocked off and they force people to stop by driving vehicles down the wrong side of the road at them. Not much point in trying to prevent them. May aswell let them do what they want and go. Takes less time / effort overall. Which neatly explains the mealy-mouthed quote from the law, doesn't it? Officers dispatched to do fuck all when there would have been plenty to keep them busy (stolen vans, no insurance etc..) But no, it's easier to threaten the undertakers. Royale80 and grizgut 1 1

Easier to pick off the undertakers than trying to pick off 400+ pikeys, many of whom will have been drinking....

Sadly, you're right. Can you imagine the outcry if the law clamped, towed, impounded or crushed the offending parked vehicles though? No, far easier to take the safe option and keep instilling fear amongst the law abiding.. Royale80 1

Bedfordshire Constabulary don't really have the resources to deal with a concentration of pikey mourners anyway. Police forces here seem to get a bit nervous when required to handle* mass pikey gatherings. 'Tis the same in Ireland. Amishtat 1

I don't doubt that, they've got the time and resources to piss away on reacting to non-crimes and hate speech though apparently. I suppose they're hamstrung now, soshal meedjah, paperwork and other bullshit. Plus there'd be a certain contingent of woolly bedwetters bleating about the poor victimised traveller community and their historic rights to do whatever the fuck they like Rusty_Rocket, Royale80, grizgut and 1 other 4

wuvvum Posted October 3, 2020 Posted October 3, 2020 Birchanger Green services achieved. Quick piss stop then I'll check the coolant, but temp is holding steady and the heater is still blowing warm so that's a good sign. catsinthewelder, puddlethumper, egg and 14 others 17

Parky Posted October 3, 2020 Posted October 3, 2020 Final ever oil change on the daily Leon. In a months time it will be offered to family and if no interest it will be offered on here. So anyone interested in a 2008 Seat Leon with 113k on the clock and regular oil changes every 6000 or so, get your wallets warmed up.
Fumbler Posted October 3, 2020 Posted October 3, 2020 Final driving lesson before my test on Monday. Tied up loose ends, just need to make sure I'm on top of my approach speeds and mirror checking.
