Continuation from motors chat round 6

1.This thread is for motoring topics which you feel are not worthy of starting a new thread for, banter from a meet or general motoring related chit chat.

2.No lonely hearts (This is not a personal dig at anyone, it's how we feel is the best way to describe what we want to avoid. )

3.Keep it clean.

I have to agree :pac:

Drove the Yaris for a bit during the week, no idea what I was doing :pac:

All this mpg talk is worrying me. I'm so use to diesels now I consider 50mpg low :eek: I don't know what I'm going to do when I have a decent petrol car that will do 20-30mpg. The golf is just seriously good on diesel. I mean last week I needed to get somewhere in a hurry and I was driving the the car very hard not excessive speed but really hard acceleration the whole time basically driving it as uneconomically as you could and by the time I got there 40km bad back roads constant speeding up slowing down the computer was still reading 48 mpg :pac: I mean you'd really struggle to get it to do much less.

Anyways, people who know what I drive like aren't surprised with my MPG at all.

A yep the instantaneous is pointless unless your traveling at constant speed. It the trip average that counts really.

I have been seeing that the last few times I've been driving in fog no one uses them at all now. I suppose most find it too difficult to simply judge the conditions and use the lights as appropriate so they just default to having fogs on all the time or never use them at all.

So me aul lad was originally going to get a Caddy van, then mentioned maybe a Mazda CX-5. Now 90% sure I've convinced him to get a FF Range Rover 3.6 TDV8 Vogue

Glad you've added racecars to this statement but most racecars are auto these days.

Freaky, I was at the airport there this morning and lost my ticket. I just went up to the barrier and pressed the button and a ticket came out, went inside put it into the machine, and since I was under 15 mins, I hadn't to pay anything (Despite the fact that I was there about an hour) :cool:

I was going to do that, alright, but thought i'd better not incase the ticket didnt work on the way out for whatever reason (it does note the reg plate).

There was also an enormous amount of airport police vehicles hovering around so figured one of them would see me and i'd only be inviting hassle on my doorstep.

When you are after good few drinks and just got back home, but the girl that you really really like calls you and wants to come over, but all taxis are just not answering...

Fecking joys of working at security... Someone messed up morning's roster and there's no one coming in. I was supposed to leave 7 minutes ago. Still unknown what time the other person might show up.

Gas, though the comments section is full of more buffoons than usual with no sense of satire at all.
