There have been some funny vids of people draining the oil on some old POS cars and seeing how long they run. It's really amazing, but it is usually not under load.

That was a strange thing about some bike tyres. The arrow shaped tread on the rear looked like it would drain towards the centre of the tyre when correctly fitted, which seemed non intuitive. But the manufacturers explanantion was that the front tyre tread is designed to drain water outwards...

Sorry, but being a fully qualified, aged reprobate with strong luddite inclinations, if it doesn't have IC, it's not a car.

My biggest fear on bikes was loose crap falling off trucks and such. It's not much better in cars. We had a young guy killed when low lifes threw a boulder off an overbridge and through his screen. I gave no warnings for insecure loads.

We went to a beach pub for lunch yesterday. When we came out there was a Camaro SS L next to mine, and a '65 Pontiac Catalina nearby. OK, I'm biased, but I prefer the look of an S650 over the Camaro, being yellow didn't help.

That blue is amazing, it might drag me away from adriatic.

Better than good, I grew up on it. Which is why I can take the piss out of my people

Mine was done in Feb, it took the whole day. They've only just taken the recall notice off the app.

Nice effect. Hope it lasts.

I'm not fussed about the time it takes. I tend to let the oil drain for a while anyway. I got used to this new fangled aero panels business with Euro cars. But I would think about better fasteners.

I still have to find a quiet place to try it.

We have an academic? The only latin I know is the Catholic Mass, that was a looonng time ago.

It and that?

I want to die peacefully in my sleep. Not screaming in fear like my passengers.

It's not the street racing that concerns me, it's the crash at the end.

I hope you're not an ex biker to speak blasphemy like that🧐

Gravity. Our cars are like Italian tanks, one forward and 5 reverse gears.

You can't pre fill VW EA888 filters, they're upside down and replaceable elements. Something else I like about doing my own servicing is having a good look around under there to see if there's anything amiss before it becomes a problem.

Our toilets flush in the right direction though.

I'm used to pops and bangs with turbo cars, but I love the overrun burble on these cars.
