A Japanese 3.7l V6 vs an American 5.0l V8? Lol! Think you've lost that competition before Dad runs out of fuel trying to get to the Start line! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DD_Arthur Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 Hmmm.....I reckon with a breeze block placed on the funny pedal the Nissan would run through a whole tankful in neutral at 7500rpm quite happily whilst Painless wept in a corner whereas the V8 would - probably - do something similar but only at much more economical revs. When I was a student I had a 2 ltr. Cortina. My mate (not a student) had a 3.5 Rover SDI. His V8 was faster and more economical than my Ford. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DD_Arthur Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 In a fit of spur of the moment, weather- induced boredom we decided to let the train take the strain and spend a couple of nights in central London wandering around doing the touristy thing. I was astonished by how much the skyline has changed in the fifteen years since I last had the opportunity to walk over Tower Bridge. All this high rise glass and stainless steel is all new to me! 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DD_Arthur Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 Possibly Swep! I'm more reminded of holidays in Greece when a look over the rooftops would reveal loads of 'unfinished' buildings with a few rods sticking out from concrete roofs. Wasn't it a local tax dodge or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DD_Arthur Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 Low tide this morning. Storm 'Ciara' is winding itself up for a big blow later today which will correspond with today's high tide. Could be interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
