Riiight. That explains it. 10 C more than the hottest day I've seen here. 🥵

OK, lots of quarrys around there then? It beats paying for mowers

Yep, 9.5 litres. $215 of prime Mobil One, plus filter. Took it to just over halfway on the dipping stick. And I thought 6 litres on the last car was a lot.

I've got pebbles instead of lawn here, but the driveway is concrete. Much safer.

I was wondering what was on the inside screen. What's recommended to clean it?

I used additives in the 70's when oil was crap. It helped those "fantastic" bits of British engineering last a little longer. Never used them since. Oil technology has come a very long way.

Stone chips or other projectiles?😳

Not quite, it's the heated liquid tar they spray before laying the chip. Contractors like it because it's cheap.

It gets worse. Most of our roads are chip seal, about 10 - 15 years ago they got all eco friendly and started using a water based seal emulsion, now the roads melt at 25 C.

I usually just select custom, that turns off stop/start, sets sport exhaust and steering, then I just kill lane assist. Good to go.

They do hate cars and drivers don't they. The funniest thing though, the UK left, but still have all that crap on their cars too.

Did a little road trip for a couple of days, and collecting a chipped screen as a memento. I bloody hate the condition of our roads and the way the Roading Authorities use drivers as road rollers on new seal. It does look repairable though. I'm getting a windscreen guy to do it on Monday.

That just reminded me. I used to use these ear plugs when riding my bike. They allow normal frequency sound through and reduce the annoying/damaging ones like wind roar and exhaust. https://www.alpinehearingprotection.com/

Having mechanical No gloves either. a continual disappointment to me.

What are you trying to say sweetie? I had an mx5 for 11 years and I don't mince, lithp, or like chicken.

Km Kmh. The world standard😁

Because of our low speed limits it's an instant licence loss if you're more than 40 over the 100kmh limit. Having ignored that, I had the Mustang up to 180 briefly and thought it was quite stable at that. I'd quite happily cruise at 160 to 180 or so for long periods.

There is a thing called the index. What annoys me about online anything is the menus, sub menus etc etc. and having to go back through them to find the next item you want. It's probably an age thing. I do have to admit that the searchable workshop manual for my bike was great. Online manuals...

Good luck with your decision, but let us know what you eventually buy. We could even have a sweepstake on it.👍

I've found doing 150kmh+ can irritate some passengers, but they can always change their status and become walkers. Luckily my wife is cool with speed, 210 on the back of my bike and she was pretty ho hum about it.
