I took a lad in a Barried up Focus t'other day with his Doris riding shotgun.. Was sat at lights for a rounderbout coming off the A64. First batch of lights I wasn't expecting it and he tore off. Second set I looked over and he gave a knowing nod. I dropped into first and waited, once the light went amber I put my foot to the ground, by the time it went green boost came on and I was gone. Even better is he tried to come back and get in front of me before it went into single carriage way. But I held him off. I could see him raging in my rear view mirror. :D

Didn't know you was the Barry type
Lmao
 
Sorry to hear about that.

What's going on with all the diesel P38s at the moment? They all seem to be blowing their engines judging by the amount of posts on here recently. I thought the V8 was the unreliable one? :)

Is there any pre-emptive maintenance to be done? I've done the stat, the fan is fine, but does the head gasket wear out and should it be replaced at a specified time? Mine's just hit 100k this week and I've just ordered a set of General Grabber AT2's for it (they don't make BFG's in 18") so if I'm spending silly money on tyres, I don't want it blowing up on me! :)

I'm not, if he hadn't chirped his tyres at the first set I wouldn't have bothered, but from that I knew he really wanted to impress his Doris. I had to show him that the Range Rover is still king. :p

I try to avoid getting caught up in such nonsense because it costs so much in fuel. I reset the trip computer shortly before, I'm down to Avg. of 15MPG :eek:
