Thinking maybe the cycling on off on off on off is what drives the life expectancy down. Maybe being constantly on, at a rarely fluctuating temperature is better than being cycled up or down in temp.

Kind of defeats the object of them if you keep them on unnecessarily. 5WLED 8 -12 hours a day or 60W incandescent for an hour total on time.

JimH Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 Some Supercar Classics arrived in the post from @barrett just flicking though them when I should have been working a reader's letter jumped out at me. Quote Silly Clubbers I read somewhere recently that some idiots had formed an Austin Allegro Owner's Club. One wonders about the sanity of these people. Perhaps the same people are about to start enthusing over Mk1 Austin Maxis, Triumph Toledos, Cortina Mk3s, Austin Princess 1800 and Reliant three wheelers. None of these cars, and certainly not the Allegro, Quartic wheel and all, have ever been of importance to the motoring world, so one wonders why these people wish to waste money on pieces of automotive junk that should have quietly rusted away years ago. At this rate , people will be enthusing about Simca 1500s next. J Toynbee Slough Berks I hope you are all proud of yourselves.

barrett Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 Ha! I remember that letter from years ago. I always thought it said much more about the letter writer than it did the 'silly clubbers' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crackers Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 Massive thunderstorm overhead tonight. I should be asleep in preparation for a uni exam tomorrow. This is better. I've not seen the sky lighting up like this for a good few years. Storm's getting closer by the minute... I could watch this all night.
