Lasts a while for me Lol, I hate filling up so always brim it to reduce the amount of times I have to go there! I don't really understand where my fuel goes though. I feel like I rarely use the car (only 3 days a week in general) yet still get through a tankful in 4-6 weeks...works out about 100 miles a week. The round trip to Nan's is about 32 miles, and when I get her certain shopping (not available at my local shops) that adds another ~20 mile round trip. But where the other ~50 miles goes I honestly don't know! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never understood the gift of alcohol with a car purchase though...they don't mix...a premium fuel voucher would be far more useful! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think you're meant to drink it on the way home!😀 Dunno about a fuel voucher instead though. I read the other day that Prince Charles had turned up to visit flood victims in his Aston Martin which runs on wine. How does that work? Are we all on the wrong track thinking 98 octane versus 95 will give us an extra 0.5 bhp when what we really need is a tank of nice Rioja?😀 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just calm the nerves a bit... Made me laugh when I got the Golf and saw a VW branded bottle opener comes as standard in the centre console drinks holder...along with a cooled glovebox and cruise control makes it ideal for a beer or two on the road! Seriously though, I know loads of people that don't drink! Even without the potential for drink driving it seems an odd choice of gift. Unless you were given the option to pick from a selection of gifts of course... I hadn't heard of Charles' wine powered Aston - how do you find these things!? That's definitely interesting though, I'll have to look into it! On the subject of track driving...did any of you see car SOS last night? They were doing a car for a visually impaired person which I thought seemed a bit pointless... Until they went to a specific track session for visually impaired people! I didn't even know such a thing existed! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They called someone to trailer it but wanted to pay them after they deliver which they weren't having it then decided to push the car off the trailer, rolling it over. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zain611 Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 I think bmw are sticking with the big nostrils look on the new 4 series. At least I can make fun out of the driver if they drive like a knob on these😂. Those grills look big enough for me to go through span widget 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it does actually run on wine out of the bottle, but iirc it's ethanol produced from surplus distilled grapes from an English vineyard. Makes for a good story though 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Bloodaxe Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Still a bit damp round here. My Mrs has just set off for an evening with friends to see some "Strictly Come Dancing" show in York. Just as she was leaving we got a call from the restaurant where they'd booked a meal first, which is now underwater, so closed! As the theatre is next door, they may not see the show either.........😞 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Finance Guy Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Just been to collect my new car! There’s no feeling like the new car feeling. Now the proud owner of a Focus ST estate in stealth grey. The engine is just amazing, and my first ever petrol car! Hopefully it will fill the gap that is there from never getting to ride my motorbikes any more. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The engine in my Caterham is a Ford too. It's a normally aspirated 1.6 but with race cams and a lightweight flywheel. Will rev to 7,500 rpm after it's been run in! Until then I'll just have to enjoy the sound below 4,000 rpm... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iantt Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Saw the new Kuga up close today and I think it's an improvement on the old Kuga. The lad who brought it in said it went well on electric only. Then just as I got home tonight , I saw one on the road . 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
