He's back

Post by redline » 04 Sep 2005 08:35 am

Hi guys , got back yesterday from my two weeks in sunny Hampshire , the second week (started off by my visit to the motor pageant ) was amazing , lovely weather ( yes I am now a bronze adonis ) my econometer is being looked after by the royal mail coz my lazy arsed corsa driving son couldnt be bothered to collect it for me ( however his mot has run out and he wants a lift to work tomorrow , revenge is so sweet and our bus service is sooo crap ) my tow bar is painted and ready to fit so looks like im in for a couple of hectic days once the kids go back to school on Monday (hoo bloody ray )

Hello mate, welcome back! With a bit of luck it'll be ok, then you'll enjoy seeing how bad your fuel economy is. You can try playing the see how long I can keep it out of the red area, oh....... that lastest 3 no 2 seconds, ah well! Those things live in the red! Glad you had a good time.

Play the "how many swings in a minute game" Thats more fun.

And has any 1.4 owner got to 40 without going into red on the econ meter? (and without it going from light to dark and back outside in the meantime)
