Oh, and it is 13 quid for a beer.

They wouldn't need to worry about social distancing in this country if they charged prices like that.

I'm sure that was an Eastenders plotline with Michel brothers.

I knew someone who used to be involved in a UK race team that managed to get a US 24 hour race, unfortunately their only engine blew up in practice, they went and hired a yank tank with the same engine, swapped it into the race car, did the race, swapped it back and returned it with about 20 miles driven running like a wreck...

Only a matter of time before a pint reaches 13 quid in London.

The wee prick who shot out my wheelie bin when I opened it the other morning wasn't popular with me, nearly pat my shants

At least it was light, imagine if you'd opened the lid in the dark and something jumped out on you

The Car of Tomorrow from 1971. A lot of the high-end tech is considered standard equipment nowadays, but it's funny to see it in something from BL.

That was great.

One thing though, does the car now employ any sensors?

I see the Mariners pub in Shields has made a massive effort for opening day.
It sounded rammed when I walked past at 10.30.

31.3 US, which is 37.5 UK MPG.

Big cars with big engines are very inefficient, obviously.

I just woke up from a very strange dream.

It was a mishmash of places rolled into one but in my dream it was my house. I dreamed that my mother spent £70 on this massive old Ransomes wood chipper machine, which was the size of a small bus, steam powered and had it shipped here for £1400.

It ran ok, I picked up a log the size of my leg and threw it at the machine (arbitrarily, not anywhere like a funnel) and that action turned the wood into so much matchsticks.

Then it stopped working and somehow it had grown an electronic control board, with buttons the same as the T1 test set on the switching room at work, and relays behind plexiglass that weren't working right. 

Someone came troubleshoot with me (don't know who it was) and then it all wouldn't work and I woke up.

 

That's the last time I read up on fuel injection control for old engines when I'm tired.

The Pontiac is the same. It was common here until the late seventies.

I just went dig in the trunk of the new car, looking for the build sheet.

I didn't find the build sheet but I found a live 20 gauge shotgun shell, the knob from the volume control on a DJ record deck and a piece of Lego.

Saw a space saver for sale on a local selling page last night and she'd only listed the tyre size, I politely pointed out to her that it might be useful for a poential purchaser to mention that it was actually a space saver and to say what car it came off / would fit. She's updated the advert....
