Fumbler Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 Well this is a bit brilliant. After filling up with 15.71 litres of the finest Applegreen petrol, the MPG readings were calculated as... 70MPG? You must be joking.... But wait! there's more. Brother Fumbler is quids in too, with his car making a magnificent 16 (!) MPG last fill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Fumbler is quids in too, with his car making a magnificent 16 (!) MPG last fill. I filled up a couple of days ago and it came up as 43mpg - around 10mpg more that I usually get. Downside is that it has been my son driving mainly, I only did an 80 mile round trip to Teesside Almost 600 miles on less than a tank. Enough left for around 60 miles when the light comes on.

Anything which enables me to spend less time in a supermarket is worth paying a small premium for(except Didldidi as they have the aisle of mystery to draw me in).

paulplom Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 There's a dude 4 doors up with a black 2013 corsa. Someone keyed it a while back. I've just got in from shopping and outside with halfords finest rattle canning the whole offside. What an abortion. It's completely flat and patchy although he does have a can of laquer as well. I'll take some pictures tomorrow when I get up sharp. Sent from my SM-G975F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulplom Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 He keeps standing back and admiring it now like it's some form of art. No masking off and it looks like he's wiping it off with blue roll.

r.welfare Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 Two MOT passes back to back this morning. Touran’s done nearly 20,000 miles since the last one - advisory for rear pads which are ‘in stock’. Then my brother’s new-to-him Subaru - thankfully pronounced solid underneath and advised on front discs and a couple of bushes. A slight blow from the Y pipe in front of the rear silencers nearly put the lambda over on the emissions test so need to see what can be done there.

Avensis Verso Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 People who drive cars newer than mine and the thing sounds like complete shite, screetching and rattling and they are totally oblivious to the fact it sounds like that, i just laugh and pat mine and say you might have been to the moon but you dont sound like that.

andy18s Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 4 hours ago, Nyphur said: Been watching a few of the videos on the channel "AutomatricsMTrack" on YouTube this evening. A tracker company advertising their recovery operations for pinched vehicles. The one below was particularly satisfying where they track a nicked Evoque to an industrial estate, turn up with the spare keys and stroll past the YOOTs who nicked it, jump in and fuck off with it. Another entertaining one is where they track a nicked hire car to a supermarché in Calais, get on the Eurotunnel and find the thief sat in the drivers seat. He couldn't scarper with it as the hire company had some of their French colleagues go and let the tyres down. The number of times they find a pinched car/bike/bit of plant and the police also identify other nicked vehicles at the site is mad. Worth a watch I think. The episode where they set off from that there London to track down a stolen digger waaaaay up north,only to follow the transmitted signal to a police recovery yard.... myglaren, richardthestag, HarmonicCheeseburger and 1 other 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoctorRetro Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 Littlun made me a note, probably to grovel as he woke me up at 6am on a Sunday morning when I'm full of cold.

puddlethumper Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 I'm in Tilburg and it's 22 degrees and sunny. Having a BBQ this afternoon with Venison and Wild Boar. Yum yum. My apple ogees if it's pissing down where you are. Luckily there isn't a dislike button. My old heap drove faultlessly and a rough calculation it did 62 mpg on the veg. Will check when I fill up. Brought a jerry with 20 litres in that will at least get me well into Englandshire before I have to buy diesel.
