trisonic Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 I'm seriously worried that if I started with that kind of research it could become an obsession..........I'm due for another one. Best, Pete. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordon s Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Just filled the beasty up, before returning it tomorrow. I thought I had got off lightly with 10 gallons, until I realised I'd only done 153 miles. Oops... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

trisonic Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 If I drive mine with lead boots I get 11.5 mpg, lightly it's 15.5 mpg (US Gallons, US Prices, though). Best, Pete. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordon s Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Jeez, Pete, apologies if I missed it, but what are you driving?... Right now I can't think of anything with a V16 other than this wee beasty.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold PhilH Posted August 31, 2011 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 31, 2011 Living on my own I get a bit fed up with keeping the place clean so I decided to take on a cleaning lady. Really not happy to discover she took 5 days to clean the place. Found out later she's a Slovak. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Classsix T Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 I apologise, had I have known wheeltappers was an exclusive club (perhaps better suited to a group) I would not have bothered with my own musings. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Classsix T Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 On the contrary Mr.Head. Your posts have been thoroughly embraced. I thought the last knockings of active British air power might be of some interest, apparently not. However I had a blast. So there Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
knobhead Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Some posts get a positive reaction, others don't. I think it's pretty much the same for most of us. Not just at Wheeltappers, but all over RMweb. Regards, Stefan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

trisonic Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Perhaps we had enough of The Cold War, the original. Who knows? Best, Pete. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Max Stafford Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Now, now C6T. No need to be like that, get yerself a mug of tea and sit down. To be fair I do like those old jets but having lived through the second half of the Cold War, I'd rather leave it back there in the history books! Most of these lads are getting on a bit and they're so busy going on about chicks and fast cars that they don't always notice anything else. I blame it on Viagra myself...

Robert Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Morning All, It is rather a chilly morning here in Hessen - plus, I have a three hour meeting to go to this morning. Won't that be fun I must have missed your post Classix. Don't worry about it though, sometimes a topic gets picked up, sometimes not. It isn't really that exclusive around here! I was interested to read that Yeovil now have a Ninja guarding the town - I wonder if it is Andy Y's Ninja friend who made an appearance a while ago. Anyway - onwards and upwards. Have a good day everyone... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonBradley Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Good morning all. Nothing to report. Yesterday turned out to be a pleasant day, weather wise. Today is supposed to be clear, but a max temp of only 13C, rain again tomorrow. I wrote this 10 minutes ago and them got distracted by running the Spike Milligan videos posted by Pete. A big THANK YOU Pete. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
